Product Description

Synopsis
Loosely based on the novel from Isaac Asimov, I, ROBOT is an action-packed, CGI-laden thrill ride from director Alex Proyas (THE CROW). Set in 2035, Will Smith stars as Chicago law enforcer Detective Del Spooner. Called upon to investigate the mysterious suicide of scientist Dr. Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell), Spooner deduces that Lanning didn't kill himself but was, in fact, murdered. Lanning worked for the US Robotics headquarters, where he constructed friendly robots designed to help humans with mundane tasks. Lanning's creations are prevalent all over the city, and have been fully integrated into the culture. They are allegedly programmed not to harm humans, but as Spooner digs deeper, his investigations lead him to a new type of robot that Lanning was working on before his death, and one of these models--the highly charismatic Sonny--becomes the prime suspect in the case. Spooner bears a grudge against robots due to an unfortunate incident, so his case against Sonny is met with shrugs of indifference from colleagues who know his prejudices all too well. Fortunately he meets an ally, and a romantic interest, in Dr. Susan Calvin (Bridget Moynahan), who agrees to help him. As Sonny is cured of his violent tendencies, the other robots amass across the city, working on the assumption that they need to control humanity in order to safeguard its future. Director Proyas unleashes a fearsome arsenal of special effects, while Spooner and Calvin chase the errant robots all over the city. Sonny's facial features and voice are digitally manipulated from the actor Alan Tudyk, lending an unnerving element of humanity to the character. Smith and Moynahan give convincing performances throughout, and as the action races towards a nail-biting conclusion, the message of the movie suggests that technologies built to help mankind could also provide its downfall.

3.0 out of 5 stars pretty robotic., 30 Sep 2004
this film is a pretty average action movie, its not as bad as the latest james bond outing, but its still not very exiting and there arent many ineresting plot twists.
that said it isnt a bad film, its just very mechanical, the plot is slightly obvious,the acting is nothing special,and the fight seens are ok at best. there are some nice shots in it - the dream sequence, will smith spraying his arm back on - and some powerful scenes - the rebel mob attacking the robots, the end - and the pan shots of futuristic new york are nice, i liked the way old mixed with new, but its nothing special.

if youre an action fan, get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourites, 6 Feb 2006
Amusing, entertaining, slick, clean as a whistle and (if you want it to be,) thought provoking. Just how I like movies. Will Smith does a great job.

I really enjoyed this film, and appreciate that there are no "family unfriendly" parts that I would prefer not to watch.

It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but everyone I know who saw it enjoyed it at least a reasonable amount. I loved it :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fanatastic, 19 Nov 2005

Loved the film, very well made and very thought out, highly recommend it to anyone, unsure if some scenes are suitable for young children as it may scare them a little, but overall a very good film
