I, Robot

I, ROBOT (2004) - July 22, 2004
Now this was a good summer action movie. Will Smith (in a better than usual performance) stars as a detective in the year 2035 who tries to prove that all the new robots are up to no good. Perhaps not as heavy on the sci-fi as I would have liked, but still manages to strike a good blend of exciting action and interesting ideas. Kudos to Alex Proyas, as I thought the whole visual look of the movie was one of the things that kept it so interesting. The ending goes a little overboard with all the action (the whole sequence where Will Smith is attacked by two truckloads of robots seemed a little superfluous), but that's a relatively minor complaint. ***1/2
