Review of I, Robot (2004) by Chase D — 11 Jan 2016

My friend wanted me to watch I, Robot as I've never seen it before, even though I wanted to see it for quite some time. I'm glad that I got to see it because I, Robot is a lot of fun to watch. It stars Will Smith as a police detective who hates robots and come across a suicide that he thinks is something else more than that.

With Will Smith in it, he'll always have fun with what he does, and in this, he's still charismatic as ever. Bridget Moynahan is good in this, and their chemistry together is funny and entertaining to watch.

I didn't know that Alan Tudyk was in this and voice casted as Sonny as he's not only unrecognized, but also doesn't sound like him too which is really good. The plot has some interesting twists in there, but there were also some predictable twists and does the cliched cop tropes in it.

The special effects are really cool to look at, the way that some of the camera moves during the action scenes, whether it spins around the character or goes around so that we see the character go around the platform, can be nauseous for some to watch, but it doesn't do it often, and it's also really interesting and quite something that I've not seen before and would like to see often instead of the shaky cam that barely works in some movies.

The writing provides some thought-provoking moments, and a lot of funny scenes, even if the thought-provoking aspects are far in between. I, Robot may be a very dumb smart summer movie, but it knows how to have fun and entertain the audience, which is more then I can say for some summer blockbuster films these days.
