Product: I, Robot [Region 2] (2004)
Rating: 3.0
ok action mystery, but mediocre sci-fi
Alas, it is very hard to find great sci-fi these days. This story takes some of Asimov's ideas - the three laws of robotics, which Asimov posited would be inevitable with the advent of intelligent robots - and jazzes them up with special effects while missing the underlieing point (i.e. that the positronic brian is designed so that robots cannot violate them - the three laws can't be turned off without destroying the function of the positronic brain itself). That makes this rather feeble as sci-fi, but good enough for casual viewers who want action and images, which seem all that Hollywood is capable of these days.Recommended tepidly. You can't watch this like 2001 and constantly see more and differently - once you get it, the concept is used up, as is the case with simple who-donnits.
