I, Robot

In a world in the near-future, robots are common. These robots protect humans, serve us, and are completely devoted. Nothing could go wrong, and everyone knows that. Except for Detective Spooner (Will Smith). Spooner doesn't believe that robots are as nice or benign as the media would believe, and he is determined to prove it when the top robot designer and inventor "commits suicide" in the company of Sonny, the only robot with seemingly human intelligence. Sonny can even dream. With a shipment of a new model coming out into the public, Spooner does everything he can to prove he's right about the murderous robot.

I'm going to come out and say it: I love this movie. It is a typical action movie in some respects, but in others, it shows creativity. Smith plays the strong, handsome rebel desperate to prove what he knows is right. Sonny is the villian who is just plain misunderstood, or cunning and evil. There isn't the typical blonde bombshell in this film, but rather a plain but brilliant doctor, Calvin, played by Bridget Moynahan, which is very refreshing. Once the movie is over, the viewer will realize how unique it is. However, don't be tricked. There is no mention of Apple products in this movie.

Rated PG-13
4 stars out of 5
