I, Robot
In a time when robots have become a vital asset to everyday life, Del Spooner (Will Smith) seems to be the only skeptic. Soon, he's called to the scene of the apparent suicide of Dr. Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell), the creator of these robots. All the clues lead Spooner to believe a robot did it, something the president of the company (Bruce Greenwood), the leading psychologist/scientist (Bridget Moynahan), and his police chief (Chi McBride) deem ridiculous. But with the rollout of a new line of robots comes an apparent mutiny: the robots begin to control themselves. It's up to Spooner to come face-to-face with his enemy in order to keep the robots in line.

"I, Robot" suffers from a cliched story that this movie does not really improve upon with the inclusion of Will Smith and his brand of action and humor. The jokes mostly fall flat and I didn't know which was acting more robotic: the robots themselves or the human actors (with the exception of Smith and Moynahan). Instead, what this movie should be remembered for is its superior special effects. The robot-human interaction looks great and director Alex Proyas and his team should be commended for the final action scene in the catwalks of Viki filled with dazzling camerawork and, well, many, many robots. But the lack of any suspense from the merely average plot makes this a slightly above average movie. 2.5 stars
