If you enjoyed last year’s ‘Minority Report’, you will probably enjoy this overblown, heartless piece of summer fluff. If you have read the Isaac Asimov books that this film is ‘inspired by’, you will hate every second of this trash. It’s not that Will Smith is a bad actor, but he still seems to be acting as if he is still starring in that sitcom that started his career. His dialogue also mainly consists of funny sayings that reveal him to be an angry black man. Alright, I take my comment back. Will Smith is terrible in this film and really should just stick to television. The product placement is endless, and will in the end distract you from the film. But especially annoying are the robots. Badly designed (they look cheap), it is also silly that when they have been set-up as indestructible, Smith has no problems fighting off dozens of them at once. This is the new film from Australian director Alex Proyas, who also made the derivative but fun, ‘Dark City’. This abomination is just derivative, and another film that falls into the ‘Starsky and Hutch’ category. As in, if you want a dumb watch and something you don’t have to think about, ‘I, Robot’ is the perfect film for a rainy afternoon. Or if you have lost the ability to walk and cannot run away from the screen.
