A Great Ride For Entertainment

Rating: 9/10 (28 September 2012)

I, Robot is a science-fiction action film that is loosely based on Isaac Asimov's short-story collection of the same title. Will Smith stars in the lead role of the film as Detective Del Spooner. The supporting cast includes Bridget Moynahan, Bruce Greenwood, James Cromwell, Chi McBride, Alan Tudyk, and Shia LaBeouf.The screenplay was written by Jeff Vintar, Akiva Goldsman and Hillary Seitz; and it was directed by Alex Proyas.
In the future presented in the story, humans have become exceedingly dependent on robots in their everyday lives. Robots have become more and more advanced, but each one is preprogrammed to always obey humans and to, under no circumstances, ever harm a human. So, when a scientist turns up dead and a humanoid robot is the main suspect, the world is left to wonder if they are as safe around their electronic servants as previously thought.
I, Robot is a film that manages to make the audience think, if only for a little bit and it remains a great ride as far as entertainment is concerned.Also,rather than a thoughtful adaptation of a venerated piece of sci-fi literature, we get a litany of deliberate clichés and digital white noise.
