I, robot, do solemnly swear to try and KILL-WILL!

What happens when you start investigating the possibility of docile, domesticated robots turning aggressive?
Someone turns them on you!......As Will Smith discovers in I, Robot.
It's a pretty good Sci-fi romp. If you imagine a cross between Bad Boys (without Martin Lawrence) Blade Runner and the fifth element that's pretty much what you're getting. Please note that the example used is basically 2 parts = Stupid action movie, to 1 part = intelligent Sci-fi movie. So don't go expecting any Stephen Hawkins style scientific revelations... no... none.

DO, on the other hand, expect to see Will Smith unraveling a conspiracy to use robots for no good and blowing a fair few of said robots away with his rather conventional, "Nine". (Handgun, for those not familiar with the term)
I liked this film. I stayed awake during it, (quite an achievement seeing as I watched it on a press screening at 9am in the morning) I admired the special effects, enjoyed the action elements and ignored the flaws and the ripped-off bits. (Slow-mo bike dismount in air. Falling a great distance to land on single knee, crushing pavement... MATRIX...HELLO!)

It's Will Smith, It's futuristic, It's Sci-fi, It's special effects, it's cheesy in places but c'mon, you know what to expect! You know what you like!
...Go see it!
