I,
ROBOT
With Will Smith, Bruce Greenwood, James Cromwell
Directed by Alex Proyas
Director
Alex Proyas wowed us with such dark fare as the original Crow
and Dark City.
Now he escalates his repertoire another hefty notch with this take on
Isaac Asimov's acclaimed story of a robot accused of murder. In the future
these machines are human assistants, like appliances, making life a little
easier. There are three laws governing their processing which is supposed
to ensure them never harming a human being. Smith is a skeptic cop with
a past who heads up the investigation of a robotics professor seemingly
killed by one of his creations. The biggest robotics company in the market
is on the verge of releasing its new model. If there is a defect, they're
in for some serious trouble. Our cop delves deeper and starts to unravel
the mystery with a whole lot of digital action along the way. With Lost
In Space co-writer
Akiva Goldsman on the team, some elements are a bit cheesy, but the overall
blockbusting excitement factor is enough to entertain even the most jaded.
Springtime fun with a new age restriction in South Africa which requires
adult supervision for minors.
