I, Robot

 

                                Like the Truman Show I, Robot was another one of those films that I haven't seen in quite a long time and maybe should have reviewed it sooner before Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. Though what I remember most about I, Robot was that the film was basically a robot takeover, with a lot of pretty good visual effects and Shia LaBeouf getting out of Disney furthermore breaking into films. Though either way all those Robots in the film have one thing in common with Chris Rock and that's they all didn't keep WILL SMITH'S WIFE'S NAME OUT OF THEIR DAMN MOOOUTH! Yeah, that's right I said it, we have nine more years to make fun of Will Smith so we’re going to make every year count.

                                In 2035, highly intelligent robots fill public service positions throughout the world, operating under three rules to keep humans safe. Despite his dark history with robotics, Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith) investigates the alleged suicide of U.S. Robotics founder Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell) and believes that a human-like robot (Alan Tudyk) murdered him. With the help of a robot expert (Bridget Moynahan), Spooner discovers a conspiracy that may enslave humanity.

                                All jokes a side this was hands down one of Will Smith's best movies up there with Ali and really it's one of those films that blends both the action sequences he can do and more importantly the acting he portrays on film, and what he does great in the movie is playing the outcast cop who has no trust towards machines or robots all because of a dark past he has endured and really you relate to the guy a lot because I would imagine how hard it would be to not have a lot of people close to you believe you nor having faith in you, and as a performance wise you really feel for the guy, a side from the brutality on Robots but that's a whole other story. I totally forgot that Alan Tudyk plays the man android Sonny, and I have to say that Tudyk is a great character actor when it comes to movies, I mean this is the second movie I've seen him in and ability of being able to play a racist piece of s**t in 42, to a sympathetic robot is pretty amazing and this is a guy who doesn't receive a lot of credit as in actor and to be honest I truly believe he needs a lot of credit as an actor because he a great talent to have especially when it comes to movies like this. What makes this movie great is that it's simple murder mystery of a who done it perspective and in fact the story itself was inspired by an Agatha Christie novel, moreover you have a great director out of Alex Proyas whose most famous for films like The Crow and Dark City and does a fantastic job of blending a great action film along with a story that gets you to think on where we will all be when it comes to emotions lurking in robots or cyborgs or computers as well. The movie itself is an entertaining movie from start to finish although it does get boring the first thirty minutes but still was entertaining to watch from start to finish. There's defiantly a deadline for the movie being on Amazon Prime, I'm not sure if there's a deadline on Hulu but either way it's still on there so I would highly recommend watching the film itself. But while you’re watching the film please be sure to keep Smith’s wife name out YOUR DAMN MOUTH.
