I, Robot

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2005)

It seems that Will Smith, although tried his hand at biographies with Ali, he's not getting away from Sci-fi in any hurry. Well, I don't think this is a bad thing, seeing as he does suit it.
I, Robot, based on one of Isaac Asimov's stories goes into the plot of a suicide which Detective Spooner, played by Smith suspects to be murder. His ideas are snuffed at and he goes on the investigation of what actually happened, leading him to a robot by the name of Sonny.
Special effects are a nice piece of this film at some points and the action is paced nicely but it suffers from length time of being a little short and it does make you feel that the film doesn't want to reveal more than is already there. It's still a enjoyable night out and thankfully isn't patronising like stereotypical summer films.
