Exciting and Very Entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2007)

I, Robot from 2004 is a very exciting science fiction film. I was never bored at any moment. I love Will Smith anyway and he was perfect for this role. His humor and demeanor is just what this film needed. The plot is pretty simple. It involves the death of the President of the Robot community. Everyone says it was a suicide but detective Del Spooner, played by Smith, suspects it was murder, especially after he finds a robot hiding at the crime scene. Further into Spooner's investigation he finds that the robots have been programmed to disobey the three laws of robots and turn on their human captains. This movie was very entertaining. Even if you get bored with the plot the stunning visual effects will keep you interested. The climax, involving the robots turning on and killing each other was pretty much the most entertaining part of the film. And it involves Del Spooner and Susan Calvin, played by Bridget Moynahan, shooting at the robots. The CGI robots are a blast to watch and look at. The more you watch this film the more you forget that they're actually robots. They're so much like humans. Also, during the climax, Spooner and Calvin must fight off these robots, all the while trying to apply a tube of nanites to V.I.K.I (Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence), the "mother" of these robots who gave them life. The nanites must be injected into V.I.K.I to kill her because she has programmed them to turn on themselves and their human companions. So that was highly entertaining to watch also. I, Robot isn't one of the greatest movies ever made but it definitely has some of the best visual effects I have ever seen. Any fan of science fiction, robots, or Will Smith will enjoy this. I didn't think I would but it came on F/X today and there was nothing else on so I watched it and really enjoyed it! And I'm glad I did. Thanks for reading my review!
