Evil Robot Takeover!!!

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2007)

Here we have a great sci-fi thriller, set in the not-so-distant future (2035 AD), where robots have become as commonplace as TV sets and Starbucks, and where machines have surpassed us in intelligence, efficiency, reliability, and... morality? What was developed to be pure goodness, pure helpfulness, with no ego, no self-interest, has decided that it can fight back for the good of its own kind. We're all doomed, right?! Not if Will Smith has anything to say about it!!! (Not so big of a spoiler: He does!) The classic fight between man and machine is brought to life in the ultimate test of brains, spirit, and wits. From the trailers, it looked like this movie could go either way, but I'd have to say that it turned out really well. It's fun, fast-paced, and intellectually stimulating, with lots of great special effects. And it's under two hours! The future has never looked so robotic.
