Blu-ray Reviews of I, Robot [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: I, Will Smith...
Summary: 3 Stars
[3.5 stars]
How you take this film depends entirely on how you approach it.
If you expect a faithful adaptation of Isaac Asimov, then walk away. The fact that the icy middle-aged Susan Calvin of the stories has been transformed into a young, slightly ditzy love interest tells you all you need to know. This is a big-budget Will Smith action vehicle, with none of the depth and intelligence of Asimov's stories.
But if a popcorn action film is all you're looking for, 'I, Robot' is pretty good. There are some well-choreographed CG action scenes, and director Alex Proyas gives the film an appropriate near-futuristic setting. Smith as the hero Spooner does a reasonable job in a role that doesn't take him far out of his comfort zone, James Cromwell has a few interesting scenes and voice-overs as Dr Lanning, and Alan Tudik infuses Sonny with an appropriate amount of humanity. On the other hand, Bridget Moynahan is very stiff and unconvincing as Calvin, and Bruce Greenwood is largely wasted as the baddie-but-is-he-really Lawrence.
Basically, the plot unfolds as you might expect, with several twists and turns that are fairly easily anticipated ( Spooner's boss demands his badge and throws him off the case? Never saw THAT one coming, did we....). The final revelation at the end is quite well done, though, and represents an interesting take on the Three Laws. There are a couple of other token attempts to be "deep", such as Lanning's monologues, but this is relative. "Deep" for a Hollywood blockbuster will not impress those used to the metaphysics of Asimov's tales.
Provided you're happy to overlook the fact that this is 'I, Robot' is little but name, this film is a fair enough Will Smith vehicle. A fun way to spend a few hours, but don't expect it to tax your brain.
Description of I, Robot [Blu-ray]
In the year 2035, technology and robots are a trusted part of everyday life. But that trust is broken when a scientist is found dead and a skeptical detective (Smith) believes that a robot is responsible. Bridget Moynahan co-stars in this high-tech action thriller that questions whether technology will ultimately lead to mankind's salvation . . . or annihilation.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
