Product: I, Robot [Region 2] (2004)
Rating: 4.0
High Action, High Interest Science Fiction With Food for Thought
Based on Isaac Asimov's robot short stories, this movie moves at a fast pace and holds one's interest. Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith) has his reasons for hating robots and sets out to prove that one of them killed a famous USR (United States Robotics) scientist. There are interesting twists and subplots which successfully blur the real instigator of an escalating attempt by robots to rule humans. There is food for thought here, too. What is life? And if we create a robot that can feel and think and plan, do we have the right to destroy it? This movie is good for sheer entertainment, but one has the option of going deeper into the questions the story presents. There is violence against both man and robot, therefore it may not be suitable for those under 10.
