Product: I, Robot [Region 2] (2004)
Rating: 3.0
Robots powered by Asimov's spinning grave
I gave it three stars because it's an OK popcorn flick. It's not a horrible movie. The story is pretty weak, but the effects and pacing are pretty enjoyable. Will Smith does a good job- I like his work, and the fights and chase scenes are fun. This reminds me of the more recent "Aeon Flux" movie- both films are based on wonderful original "properties" (a book and an animated series, respectively) that tried their best to squeeze through Hollywood's "blockbuster" nozzle.As noted by previous reviewers, this film has little to do with book it shares its title with. Asimov was compelled to write his robot stories in the first place because he was tired of the "conquering robot" cliche as seen in "R.U.R."I think that Anne Robinson (Host of "The Weakest Link") would have been a much better casting choice for the role of Dr. Susan Calvin, but the script is so far from the book that it probably doesn't matter.
