Crisp, Clever, Likable, Creative.

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2004)

I suggest seeing this film, if you love action, special effects, good humor (based mostly on Will Smith) and have a basic curiosity towards the future, I really suggest seeing this film!
The film through all it's crisp effects, and likable characters is still probable to unfair judgment based on the fact that if it's two things Hollywood has overdosed on it's: World War II, and Robots and Aliens trying to threaten our kind. The theme itself is similar to "Terminator" and the "Matrix" However, being negative on such a excellent movie as "I,Robot" is almost as depressing as liking a limousine hummer and someone else ruins it for you by saying it looks like a bus would fall into this category. What is so terribly wrong of this movie? The detailed special effects is more than what we asked for, the characters are actually likable: Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith) is funny, Sonny (the unique robot) seems more realistic and all the more likable, the movie is suspenseful, and fresh. In many ways this movie differs from all others (I would gladly trade "The Stepford" wives in terms of clever plots with any movie regarding robots for I,ROBOT) In the film I,ROBOT, the robots themselves are used for more realistic reasons (multi-purpose) than merely bodyguards and (or) assassins (such as Terminator) I believe man would actually use these robots to carry the mail than to carry a gun. I also appreciated the fact that the robots in the films actually look like robots, the questions asked by many robotic plot movies: Can the anatomy of a robot be sensitive enough to simulate emotion? Is a question that can be understood why one would wonder this question. The question comes as natural as asking if a Parrot knows the words he is saying when he says it. You can't blame this movie for other much older versions of this movie, if anything this film is a more modern philosophy of our future. The only thing I could complain about this film is that acting is a bit stiff, on Bridget Moynahan's part, but really, what else do you expect from a military robot scientist? They are supposed to be as stiff and as straight as the postures they carry. Other than that this movie is brilliant but it's like a quote the film says itself: "The most brilliant minds have the most persuasive demons." I highly suggest seeing this film for the idea at hand of the future what man doesn't want to see tomorrow today?
