Decent sci-fi entertainer with fine VFX, good Will Smith

Rating: Null/10 (14 February 2009)

Lovers of Isaac Asimov's science fiction may not like it but 'I, Robot' is good fun. It's reasonably intelligent although it borrows little from Asimov's writings apart from his famous Three Laws of Robotics. Will Smith's charisma keeps the film afloat and I quite enjoyed his one-liners. The VFX is impressive and there's a thrilling chase sequence in the film that's worthy of praise. James Cromwell has a small but significant role. Bridget Moynahan is alright while Alan Tudyk voices the innocent looking robot Sonny. The climax is a bit of a letdown but the film remains a watchable entertainer.
Overall 7/10
