"I-Robot" is the story about a man (Will Smith) who hates robots and doesn't trust them. His issues date back an incident that occurred a while ago when he and a young girl were drowning and the robot saved the girl and not him. You see, robots are designed, supposedly to never harm humans and to sacrifice themselves for humans. The age old problem with robots though is they don't have a heart, and will was annoyed it didn't know to save the girl instead of him.
It's now 2035 and Del Spooner (Smith) is called in to investigate the death of the "father of robots", Dr Lanning. He soon discovers this apparent suicide looks dicey and through a hologram Spooner realizes he is being asked to investigate what's going on with robots. When he comes across a disobedient robot, he soon discovers something big is happening. Will Spooner save the human race from killer robots? See it to find out.
Despite the silly premise, it's actually a decent film. Will Smith holds it together well, as does the robot played Sonny. There are clear story lines with the creation/gospel message too and the movie is a great analogy for the gospel story. Well worth seeing.
