Will Smith (“Bad Boys”) stars in this futuristic sci-fi action movie that presents some interesting ideas but unfortunately does little with them and the dependency on C.G.I. during not just the action scenes but the movie as a whole sadly drag this movie down a few notches from a good movie.

In “I, Robot”, Spooner (Smith) is a police officer in 2035. He lives in a world where robots coexist with humans using three simple rules: 1. Robots can’t harm humans, 2. Robots have to obey a human unless that contradicts with the first rule and 3. Robots can protect themselves without contradicting the first rules. But Spooner doesn’t trust them. Dr. Lanning (James Cromwell “Babe”), who has invented a new line of robots has apparently committed suicide but Spooner has to find the truth. He unearths a conspiracy about robots as it leads to a nauseating C.G. filled finale.

Will Smith is horrendous in this film. He isn’t funny as the character isn’t great. This is a major problem I have with the movie. Susan Calvin (Bridget Moynahan “The Recruit”) is a disappointing female character that is very wet. The cast is disappointing despite featuring big names such as Smith, Cromwell and Bruce Greenwood (“Star Trek”).

I like the idea of conspiracies about robots in the future but “I, Robot” is a badly written film and instead starts involving robots that have dreams and emotions without great explanation and that makes the film come across as silly. The action is boring and is something like out of a videogame as it is nonstop and obnoxious. The film uses way too much C.G. without good enough reason for me. All-round I was disappointed with “I, Robot” but it has received mixed views so maybe if it is on television you could catch and see what you make of it. For me it wasn’t much.
