Critics Consensus

Bearing only the slightest resemblance to Isaac Asimov's short stories, I, Robot is still a summer blockbuster that manages to make viewers think -- if only a little.

Sukhdev Sandhu

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Leaving aside the sub-Matrix hokum about Spooner's sweet-potato-loving grandmom, the movie humiliates itself - and embarrasses us - by the amount of time it spends plugging a glamorous car...

TIME Magazine

In the end, I, Robot is just an assembly-line product of a not very advanced model.

Sydney Morning Herald

He excels in creating alternative worlds and the one here sustains the film, with a pristine beauty that's attractive and slightly sinister.

Deep Focus Review

Though the material possessed the potential for landmark genre filmmaking, the result feels like two hours of product placement, so-so-special FX, too much comic relief, and non-acting from a star sleeping through his performance.

Rated: 1/4

Gone With The Twins

The way in which the robots acrobatically leap about, as if immune to the effects of gravity, is the main offender.

I, Robot (2004) Do not Think Too Much, and Have a Good Entertainment (11,683 – 19 Dec 2004 / 09 May 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In 2035, robots are mandatory electronic devices in every home, being the proportion of four men for each robot in the American society. They are built by US Robotics following three basic laws for preservation of human beings, and no robot is allowed to harm a human being in any circumstance. In Chicago, detective Del Spooner (Will Smith), who hates robots, is assigned to investigate the suicide of the scientist and his old friend, Dr. Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell), in the facilities of US Robotics. The CEO Lawrence Robertson (Bruce Greenwood) asks the scientist Susan Calvin (Bridget Moynahan) to support Spooner in his investigation. Spooner believes that Dr. Lanning was murdered, and looks for the criminal, finding the robot Sonny hidden in Dr. Lanning's room, that becomes the prime suspect. While following the hints left by Dr. Lanning, Spooner and Susan are initially misguided, finding the truth in the end. "I, Robot" (2004) is a good action sci-fi movie, using elements of "Blade Runner" and "Terminator 2". However, the characters and the society of 2035 are not well-developed, and if the viewer starts questioning details, he or she will find many shallow points and flaws. The special effects are top notch in 2004, and revisiting the film in 2025, they are still good to see. Therefore, my advice is: do not think too much and have good entertainment. My vote is eight.

Another AI creation story where humans underestimate an AI's ability for sentient evolution. A worthwhile film to see.

Film sottovalutatissimo. Molto bello per grafica, effetti speciali, colpi di scena e trama. C'è tutto, umorismo tensione... Ma soprattutto una grande interpretazione di Will Smith
