Nice concept, wrong actors

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 2004)

Simple: What is it with so called sci-fi movies these days. How come they can't have the ambiance anymore like "Bladerunner", "Event Horizon" or "Alien" even the Matrix. Ambiance doesn't seem to be important anymore. Question, how do I mess up a nice concept en pretty good-looking movie. Right.. by having Will Smith in it. I'm sick of his bad acting and most irritating tough jokes at the wrong place. The movie had the potential to be a bit different in Hollywood, but no, jokes had to be added. I think Will Smith was about the worst choice they could ever make.
The robots itself where pretty cool and in fact it was quite fascinating to see them amongst all the people. This was rather style-fully done. The fact that mankind needed to be partly erased to safe itself was pretty nice thought of, though i don't think the director came up with the idea himself. It's probably in one of the books of the original writer of the books.
Like i said, a good concept, with nice looking images. It could've been a very nice movie, but Will Smith with his jokes (or they made him do it, i don't care) ruined the movie.
