Not exactly I, Robot, but close

This movie has some things to do with the book I, Robot, but has no real relation to the book aside from the theme being around the Three Laws of Robots. Saying that, I still found the movie very enjoyable because it was able to encorporate major themes from sections of the book including Lost Robot and The Evitable War. It shows a strong flaw in the design of robots and the laws.
The special effects are much better than most of the CGI we see nowadays, but it was somewhat gratuitus but still was close to flawless. Some of the scenes reminded me of 1980's blow-them-up movies and included a great car chase.
As far as acting goes, it is Will Smith being Will Smith in an action role. He has several bad jokes which accompany roles such as these and on the whole were pointless. He did portray some of the more serious parts such as hating robots well. On the whole it was ok, but still better than most of the movies that come out today.
On the whole, I see it as one of the better movies of the year such far and a good deal better than movies that get passed off as Science Fiction recently. |
