Not exactly "The Terminator" but fun and well-done

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2005)

"I, Robot" is an adrenaline-pumped sci-fi action-thriller, with a sense of mystery to it. Sure, that has become a bit of a cliché, but who cares? Other ones such as The Terminator, The Matrix and Dark City have become widely popular.
The story line is this: Will Smith plays Detective Spooner, and believes that the robots that people use to run everyday life are up to no good, due to some incident in his past. Of course, just about everybody disagrees with him, so he is all alone with his theory. After a robot is accused of murder, Detective Spooner goes all over the case.
The story line unfolds well, and the action scenes are awesome and well-done. The movie is creative and fun, but casting Will Smith as the main character reminds me of so many bad movies, where pop stars are cast as the main character, just how Hilary Duff starring in a movie will undeniably remind me of some horrible chick flick. But, even if Will Smith wasn't the greatest choice, and some moments were pretty dull, the film's action, and story line make it well worth watching.
7/10
