Wow, Robot

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2004)

Many people seeing previews of this movie may just see it as a Special Effects powerhouse, much like the Terminators, and Matrix movies. And yes, you would be correct in making this assumption. But there is TONS more to this movie than just the Special Effects. This movie has a terrific story. Based in the year 2035, it almost makes it seem like we're already there, aside from the fact we don't have robots running around all over the place. The main character, Spooner (Will Smith) does a terrific job, as he does in most of his movies. Although this is the first movie I can think of, besides Golem in Lord of the Rings, in which an artificial character is portrayed as one of the Main Characters. At the end of the movie you have a strong likingness to this Robot Character named Sunny. Speaking of LOTR, this movie reminds me a lot of LOTR. Think of "I, Robot", as LOTR in the year 2035 without the Frodo's and Sam's. "I, Robot", is an all-around terrific movie, and if you haven't seen it yet, I recommend you do.
