Better than you might suspect.

Rating: 6/10 (21 September 2004)

Will Smith is back in the sci-fi genre, fortunately not as a man in black. "I Robot" is a different kind of movie that blends paranoia with CGI in a pretty good way. The future is for once not a dark place were every one wears Ray-Bans and it always rains, but it is however full of robots. The people seem to have forgotten everything "Terminator" was supposed to learn us. Smith is a police officer and the only person in the movie who doesn't trust robots. Everybody else makes fun of him because of this. Well I guess you can see were it goes from here, but "I robot" actually manages to pull of some twists and surprises along the way, which makes it stand out among all the "Bladerunner" imitators out there, while it's never as complex as, say, anything Hitchcock ever did, it's still enough to make you stay awake and actually enjoy his movie. The reason for this pretty low score is that it's quite obvious that this is a Hollywood movie. There are just a bit too much dumb jokes and sometimes the CGI gets a too central role in it and by the way, all violence is PG.
Still an entertaining movie.
6/10
