Review of I, Robot (2004) by Riren — 19 Mar 2007
A decent, if lopsided, thriller built around a weak story. The dialogue is uninspired and the acting is laughably bad, with every cast member showing one or two emotions in the entire movie, and flipping between them like they have switches built in their backs.
I Robot's saving grace is its special effects, which are head and shoulders above what you see in a lot of movies, but will soon be outdated. These special effects are paid for by the copious products that are shamelessly placed and mentioned in the movie.
A handful of times it feels more like a commercial than a story. Coupling its superficiality with its terrible character development, you are left with a movie that is only worth seeing for its few truly inspired special effects.
See it on TV. Don't pay for it.
