Good summer movie

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2004)

Sction. Adventure. Things exploding. Light romance. Humor. Drama. All the ingredients for a good summer movie. And this is one of the best.
I have to be honest, if this came out during non-summer months, it'd do well, sure, but probably not as well as it is now. I could be wrong, that's just what seems to be the trend with most sci-fi movies that I know of. But in no way do I consider myself an expert on this stuff.
Acting is great - Will Smith gets some great one-liners, as usual. There are a few moments that give a sense of deja-vu (MIB, anyone?) but not many.

I enjoyed this. And I think I may read the Assimov book it's based on, though I already know the two are bound to be different. It always happens with movies, that there are differences between them and the stories they are based on. Still, if a good movie leads to a good story, or vice versa, there's no harm done. I hope that's the case with I, Robot.
