Why I consider it to be a poor sci-fi?

Rating: 3/10 (5 September 2008)

1) The main character performed by Mr Will Smith is pathetic. He is like a run-of-the-mill hero of the day: cocky, chatty, self-confident, and invulnerable. He is black too, but it's not a problem (of course). Suppose, the problem is that the actor has the qualities of a comedian. I would prefer a serious brooder. Comedy elements often destroy sci-fi. Here it's a perfect example.
2) The dialogues are too numerous and too shallow. The humans chat a lot and the robots chat a lot. And when you hear much of that during a sci-fi, you get annoyed and distracted from the main ideas. There are also some stupid phrases (they were pushed into the movie for a more "teenager feel" maybe?), like the one pronounce by a boy from the rebelling crowd, when he sees how cool the woman is.
3) The action scenes are laughable. Not because they are done poorly, but because they make the whole film look like a fantasy. Hundreds of tough robots collide with the crowd of men and it looks that the men are fighting off all right. And the main character is jumping about in slow-mo, waving his gun about and taking out targets while he's in the air. It should look cool if you are watching a mindless action, but here, with some serious topics as the background, it turns into a charade.
4) The design of robots is not to my taste. I don't like it. They look goofy like cartoon characters from a "Pixar"/"Disney" production.
All these things have such an awkward impression, that I don't even want to think about the plot, however brilliant it should be.
The final lines: it is a shiny Hollywood production for having fun on a Sunday afternoon, if your fun supposes watching movies like "Independence Day" or "Demolition Man". You watch, you go 'Wow!' and you forget all this crap in a couple of hours never to watch it again. I really expected this movie to be from a different category (even with such an actor as Mr Will Smith). It reminds me of "Bee Movie". And that's not just a bad sign - that's a horrible sign. Whenever I experience such ambitious productions in the genre of sci-fi, my mood gets spoilt for quite a time. Sorry, but this flick has no chances against, for instance, "Cyborg" (a sci-fi with a very low rating on IMDb and without any CGI at all). And if I mention "Blade Runner" or "Alien" A 3 out of 10. Thank you for attention.
