Product: I, Robot [Region 2] (2004)
Rating: 4.0
Thoroughly Entertaining
When I watched the trailor of this film I thought to myself now this looks quite promising. Often I end up in theaters and renting dvds for films which I never liked(Day After Tomorrow,The Recruit,Italian Job,From Cradle To Grave and the list goes on...)So I'm sitting at the start of the film wondering what to expect and I am simply amazed by the Will Smith's larger than life character in the film. We wouldnt like running into similar people in our lives but I do know I quite enjoyed watching how cool Will Smith's character is.He wears this long leather jacket which fits him like second skin.His walk exemplifies the brashness of his character. He's not meant for smooth talk and isnt a wise guy in the film.I think the Robots in the film were rather intelligently designed.There are many scenes in the film that are most superbly shot,plenty of fast cars,brilliant action sequences (especially the robots v/s humans)I wouldnt say the last 30 mins or climax of the film was exhilerating. The entire film has this certain adrenaline inducing smoothness about it. So much so that I think Will Smith was the perfect character for this. Recently, I rented the dvd to give the film a second watch. It made a good second watch. Now how many films can do that? I will be purchasing the DVD soon.P.S - I've seen the "Men In Black" series and am not a fan. If you expect this to be something like that then look elsewhere. This is only "better".
