Product: I, Robot [Region 2] (2004)
Rating: 3.0
3.5 stars
Being a big fan of the short stories it was always going to be difficult for me to really enjoy this film.The tone, plot, and characters of the film are wildly different from those of the more sedate and intelligent short stories. The only similarity between the two being the rather clever 3 laws of robotics.That said, the film is still enjoyable in it's own right as an action sci-fi. The effects are excellent, the pace spot-on, and the vision of the future convincing (actually aided by the many shameless product placements). Will Smith did'nt really work for me as the lead, someone more brooding and less of an obvious 'hero' would have given the film more credibility.Overall though, worth a watch.
