I, cash in

I, Robot (2004)

Directed by Alex Proyas and based on the stories of Isaac Asimov this film stars Will Smith, Bridget Moynahan and James Cromwell. The co-founder and main roboticist of the leading robot company dies under suspicious circumstances.

This film is probably one of the biggest mixed bags you will come across, it contains both good and bad elements. The plot is not bad but it's links to the work of Asimov are tenuous and likely fairly cynical in nature as is the rather obvious product placement in the film. Probably the best thing in the film is the CGI robots who look really good but again this is counter balanced by the over use of action sequences to fill out the film.

3/5
