Best new sci-fi movie in a LONG time!

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2004)

This was the best sci-fi movie I've seen in a long time! THANK YOU to the filmmakers for making a movie with an interesting and challenging story and not just wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on a film with special effects and nothing else! I,Robot has aspects that are reminiscent of previous films (Minority Report, The Terminator, The Matrix, Runaway, Blade Runner, etc...). Overall, however, I found the story to be very original and it didn't follow the predictable "formula" of so many of the horrible movies that come out these days. I thoroughly enjoyed the brilliant special effects but they didn't cover up for any lack of story or acting. Will Smith and Bridget Moynahan were both excellent. I sensed the chemistry and tension between their characters and I was a little disappointed that it didn't blossom into a more intimate relationship. I found this vision of the future to be far more believable than others I've seen. I can't stand when movies have one nearly impossible close call stunt after another and expect the audience to go along with it! The clothing, architecture, computers, robots, cars, and other technology all seemed logical extensions of the world today. I find this kind of sci-fi to be most exciting because it's believable. It reminds me of a lot of Ray Bradbury stories I've read. I haven't read Asimov but I am eager to do so now!
