Review of I, Robot (2004) by Super C — 23 Aug 2015

This was an incredible movie especially considering it was released in 2004. It set the pace for copy cats to take its foundation and morale dilemma between robots and people and how it might change society and what rights the robots have and what roles they will play how they will effect the economy.

It lead many people to copy including Ex machina with which the robots look nearly exactly the same with realer faces as if they evolved as they would over the years. For That this movie is actually really good given its time frame it came it.

It still is a good watch to go back and watch. Another under estimated element of this movie is the fact Will smith is in it and his acting is phenomenal his flawless and perfect acting really keep you immersed in the movie and keep the intensity of the movie that much higher.

Will smith one of the most under estimated superstars of all time recognized but not nearly at the super star level he clearly has earned and shot way beyond where his credit is due for any real actor.

Bruce Greenwood is always plays an amazing role as well Get film play. My only grievance are a couple of small things I could point out that are hard to notice that are arguable holes in the story, not big and dont take away from the movie, and the starting scene Will smith has no shirt on and showers seems to be unnecessary and thrown in there for people who love man candy.

But it could be argued that it was to show how in shape he was in, to make it more real when he was fighting off the robots it makes more sense that a strong man would be needed to do alot of the stuff he did and not a skinny punk who clearly was weak like a twilight actor, it would be unreal.

To dedicated film watchers, and film students and those with theatrical experience this is obvious to the average watcher it prob seems to be nit picky. If you havent seen this movie you should check it out, This is before movies started to become mindless I honestly should give it 5 stars but I feel there are a few things that couldve put this movie just over the top, and I didnt get that over the top feeling watching it and some of the small things that make no sense other than to build suspense such as the professor leaving clues in holograms knowly before his death he could have instead of simply leaving one long message to explain whats going on he could have said in case of me being murdered here is a message to the police of inside corruption, it makes no sense he leaves a series of long drawn out clues because of those few things 3 1/2 stars and an extra 1/2 star because it inspired so many copy cats and it was very original for its time in 2004.
