In ‘I robot' there are three laws of robotics. These laws get on the wrong track in the movie. It implies that robotics have to protect... uman but once the robotics start to recognize them as humanity the biggest threat to human is humanity itself. Subsequently, robotics begins thinking they have to control human. This can be seen computers start to refuse to accept words they are given but they start to analyze sentences. It can symbolize that they have free will in the end. Well, actually the main robot character shows the perfect free will in the movie. Then, can robotics in the movie be seen as living things? If we think about living things basic phenomenon, systematization of cell, as essential part of life, the systematization within machines or computers can be also seen as living things as well, subsequently the hero of ‘I robot' becomes the living creature Full Review

This movie is fun but sometimes boring. It has a good sci-fi plot but all of it sometimes seems overwhelming. Smith did a great job of placing humor... in this action film. The movie has a nice sense of the future-besides the robots of course. Full Review

Fabulous mental escape. It's fun and playful, rather than dark and foreboding. And there doesn't seem to be an original cyber-bone in the movie's body. But it's put together in a fabulous package.Full Review

This is a movie to restore the faith of those who had given up on science fiction after "The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions." By adeptly combining action and ideas, it proves that Hollywood can still produce astonishing entertainment.Full Review

Smith makes it look easy, but underneath the physical high jinks and slick veneer of I, Robot lies a performance of real discipline and intelligence.Full Review

Although I, Robot provokes thought, it doesn't exactly deliver thought, despite the occasional Cartesian reference to "ghosts in the machine."Full Review

Mick LaSalle

A routine Will Smith cop-on-the-hunt thriller at heart, I, Robot lacks imaginative excitement.Full Review
