Kind of a blend of other movies, but it works.

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2004)

This movie is basically a little of "Minority Report", "Men in Black", "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace", and the story it was based on all roled up into one. Sometimes with a blend you get a foul tasting mess, but here you end up with a rather good movie, that could have been better, however, overall it was entertaining. A movie about a robot who may have committed murder focuses mostly on Will Smith's character. He does pretty good in the role, but I am thinking an older actor would have done a better job with the role, maybe a Bruce Willis or someone like that. Still Smith did better than I thought he would and his character was believable enough for me. The robots are very well done and the story is decent enough, though I think they could have trimmed it down maybe ten or so minutes. The effects are good and the action is good as well...though most of the best action scenes are at the tail end of the movie. There are a few twists and turns in the story as well and they work rather well too. All in all this movie is an entertaining summer movie.
