When Robots and Moynahan Rule The Future

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2004)

**** Spoilers!!!! **** The world created in I Robot is beautiful in terms of the work that went into creating the city skyline of Chicago and the CGI robots that inhabit it along with humans. As far as creating a feel for the story, I Robot is one of the better movies to do that, something which some sci fi movies never do.
The plot is self explanatory, but it's worth some comments. I have to say that the movie was actually a good and it drew me in.... Until the last half hour or so. That is where my only problems with it begin.
I think Smith and Moynahan made a good couple in terms of a movie like this. He being his usual Fresh Prince self but a bit mature, while she is the smarter an obviously higher breed of the two. I think they did have chemistry and it was interesting how their character's played off on each other. There was no romance between the two, however it would have been interesting though comical if it did happen. Though not likely, it would be good to see these two again together in a movie.
The only real issue I have with I Robot was it's ending. Though it fit the story and I knew it was coming, the ending battle was just stupid and seemed to be put together quickly. When Smith and Moynahan are battling the robots on top of the USR tower, the movie became typical in terms of humans with guns vs machines.
Had the ending been better, this would have been one of Will Smith's better movies. However, it's the ending that was given and there is nothing we can do about that. I would still watch it again, watching Will Smith be his usual self can be fun to watch sometimes. 7/10
