As paranoid cop Del Spooner, Will Smith (Independence Day, Men in Black) displays both his trademark quips and some impressive pectoral muscles in I, Robot. Only Spooner suspects that the robots that provide the near future with menial labor are going to turn on mankind--he's just not sure how. When a leading roboticist dies suspiciously, Spooner pursues a trail that may prove his suspicions. Don't expect much of a connection to Isaac Asimov's classic science fiction stories; I, Robot, the action movie, isn't prepared for any ruminations on the significance of artificial intelligence. This likable, efficient movie won't break any new ground, but it does have an idea or two to accompany its jolts and thrills, which puts it ahead of most recent action flicks. Also featuring Bridget Moynahan (The Sum of All Fears), Bruce Greenwood (The Sweet Hereafter), and James Cromwell (Babe, LA Confidential). --Bret Fetzer

From The New Yorker
It's Will Smith versus the machines in this extremely loose adaptation of a series of Isaac Asimov stories. Directed by the fantasist Alex Proyas ("Dark City," "The Crow"), the movie is a C.G.I. extravaganza, full of gleaming surfaces and moody lighting in the manner of Edward Hopper. The robots themselves have beautiful ice-blue eyes, and the Chicago cityscapes have a "Blade Runner"-like intricacy. The studly Smith (he has a swoon-inducing shower scene) suspects that one of the latest models of a new robot line has committed murder, and the plot becomes a succession of chases that are progressively exciting. There's not much in the way of clever dialogue (the dreaded Akiva Goldsman had a hand in the script), but Proyas has a real facility for this kind of speculative storytelling. -Bruce Diones

Awesome!!!
this is a movie you can whatch over and over, you will never get tired of the non-stop action. the whole plot in this movie is very intriguing.

Necessary changes to the book, even if some of the ideas are simplified
Lets face it, I, Robot the Asimov text would not make a great film, even if it were a great book. This attempts to sew the ideas in that book into an all encompassing package.

On the whole, it succeeds. It is not perfect, but stands ahead of most of the superhero movies of the last 15 years and is up there among the better movies of the action genre. And Will Smith makes a good transition from comic to serious role.

Very Entertaining
This was perfect sci-fi distraction. For the third movie I watched in a row today, it still fully held my interest, which I consider a testament to just how well done it is. Of course there is some extent to which all sci-fi is cliche after you've been following the genre for decades, but this movie manages to make the old new again. The dialogue was fun. The characters likable. The plot twists were sufficient to keep you thinking, but not so overdone you had to scratch your head and try to make sense of it.

There was even a healthy dose of food for thought, in terms of the nature of the sense of "self," how this develops, and what having one implies. Overall it delivered exactly what I was looking for in my final entertainment bite for a lazy Monday evening.
