Product: I, Robot [Region 2] (2004)
Rating: 2.0
Rather uneventful, sort of a yawner....
Being a Sci-Fi guy and a fan of some of Asimov's books I figured this film may as well be worth an evening of entartainment. It barely was. There were several problems. I will list them out for you:- Will Smiths portrayal of the dime-a-dozen "good cop with a hunch" was bordering on obnoxious. He was loud, annoying, and very difficult to care about. His backstory was also pretty standard stuff.- Awful CGI and special effects. Yup, the robots themselves had little or no detail and the action sequences looked about as video game-ish as you can get. Of course there were the usual "how did the hero escape that situation" scenes. Yuk.- The Police Chief that has to take Smiths badge was also textbook cliche and added nothing.- Very little suspense. Not sure why...but this movie did not have me wondering what was going to happen next. I barely cared anyways. The action scenes were dull and the characters were too. 'Nuff Said.- The movie just didnt know what it wanted to do with itself and got into that "funk" that some films get into when you feel like they are just burning time up.Overall, other than the concept which is cool, this film lacked any real excitement and when it was over I had the "That's it?" feeling.Needless to say I wont be adding this to my collection. You can try it out as a rental but even that may not be worth it unless you have absolutely nothing else to watch.NOT Recommended!
