I Robot Movie Review
We saw I Robot on its opening night on Friday, and let us say that it was exactly what we wanted. There was a little bit for everyone...action, special effects, comedy, and pretty good plot.
Perhaps the best part of I Robot was the character development of Sonny, the robot who Will Smith must befriend, despite his intense loathing of robots in general, in order to solve the quest he's been sent on by an old doctor. Sonny was built unlike any other robot and actually ended up having true feelings and saving the day with Will and Bridget Moynahan.
There were twists and turns all along the way and we never guessed the true enemy that made themself known at the end of the film. It was actually even better writing and plot than we were expecting from this action blockbuster. There was genuine ingenuity and cleverness at every turn.
The only thing we have to complain about is the supposed timing of the film: 2035. The reason that we have issues with this isn't that we don't think that robots will be walking among us in 30 years, it's that the filmakers somehow think that every road, highway, and transportation system in the greater Chicago area will be totally rebuilt in just 30 years. Now that's futuristic thinking. But, we can't blame them too much since it's the same mistake we've seen in just about every movie set in the near future.
Other than that, though, I Robot, was a great movie that we throroughly enjoyed and didn't want to end.
I Robot movie review final score: 9/10
