Whoever thought a movie with Will Smith could actually be somewhat intelligible, and not just a bunch of running?
Well, now I know.
I expected I, Robot to just be another dumb sci-fi flic. Well, what I saw exceeded these expectations.
You're thinking, isn't this just the matrix/bicentennial man/whatever all over? Well, that's what I thought, too. And I suppose that you could call it that. However, it pulls it off more than well enough for me to just not care.
The movie had its fair share of action, but that didn't ever seem to be the main focus. The main character was put through frustration, but not so much frustration as to make me want to scream at the stupid people. I do believe this is the first action movie in the 100 minute time frame that wasn't just stupid.
It'll make you think some, it has action, it has some romance, it has friendship, and it doesn't drag. If nothing else, if you're weird, for some reason it shows Will Smith's buttox.
However, for all of you who don't just go to movies for dumb action and nudity, and who are sick of unrealistic and just stupid sci-fi movies... go see it.
I give it an A+ for entertainment.
