What's This? Good Robot vs. Bad Robot?

Rating: 6/10 (18 September 2005)

Just another Hollywood summer thriller, of course. The robots seek to take over the USerthe world, and one cool hero will do it in style. Will Smith performs his usual best, as a quirky cop with a hunch about meddlesome scrap metal. Like most renegade cops he has to battle not only the system that's against him, but the whole of Chicago proper. Does he succeed? You'll just have to see. Expect to be thrilled by the amazing computerized graphics that seek to recreate Issac Asimov's classic novel, I, Robot in a whole new way.
Sadly, this one is less than up to par. At least there weren't any cheesy dialogue issues, but of course, there are mildly sappy parts, and a revealing of some of the hero's physical oddities, which allow him to do things he couldn't otherwise. Luke Skywalker, anyone? Robots  C-3PO? Maybe it was just me. The future is bright with amazing technology, but it seems that advertisements really get in the way in displaying itI mean, get out of here; US Robotics used to make 56k dial-up modems, and before that 28.8 baud ones. The Audi car is quite awesome, although, like all the James Bond movies, it gets destroyed before we see it at its fullest. Apart from these detractors, don't expect anything more than to pass your time. It's still a fun way to do that.
