I, Robot - Not the book, but quite good
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
"I, Robot" is a cyberpunk thriller with plenty of storyline to keep you interested. Will Smith plays "Detective Spooner", a public servant who does not trust the robots that have become an integral part of society. The plot is a mix of "man goes on a journey", "boy meets girl", and a little "capture and escape". There is a decent amount of violence, but mostly gun play resulting in a bunch of robots getting thrashed by Spooner.
The movie carries a few themes "suggested" by Issac Asimov's book. However, those who have read the book should not expect to watch the book on the big screen. Instead, the reader should consider the world created by Issac Asimov only as the setting of the movie, as the compendium defining the rules that guide the story forward. Then, the reader will also be able to enjoy a great movie in addition to an even greater book.
I was most impressed by the way cutting edge technology and architecture were inserted along-side existing knowledge and construction. This theme continued throughout the movie with humans and robots, old robots and new robots, and ultimately good robots and bad robots. When you watch the movie, you'll feel that the robot future isn't too far off.
I hope you enjoy "I, Robot".
