Very slick production, but also with deep emotions and some poetry

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2004)

The movie has nothing to do with Asimov's book "I robot" but that's not a problem. It is simply inspired from the book, and that can not be wrong.
This movie is a big showpiece and millions of dollars flows in the scenery and computer animation. But it is definitely made with a feeling for the publics possible need for some deeper emotion and some deeper thoughts. Often it is also beautiful, even poetic. And often it's a good thriller and you feel your heart pounding.
The only big problem is the product placement of the shoes of the main character Detective Spooner played by Will Smith. It stinks all the way from the US to Europe. Believe me.
Otherwise it is a surprisingly tight and well played drama in entertainment style. Not at all as hollow and only on the surface as you always fear in a really expensive production. Lots of emotions and also some deep thoughts. It's worth the money.
