I prefer storylines that encourages the audience to use their minds, their imagination...as compared to action movies where all of the thinking and stimulation is done for them. IRobot takes the audience into one possible outcome of where technology is currently headed especially as it relates to AI. The one critical reality of where we are at today and where we are headed is that no one can unlearn anything. The producer of this movie never addresses this conundrum which would be equally true in this story if not more so. Having said that, though, this is still worth your time to watch, think, and become involved.

This is a sci-fi movie in which Will Smith excels again. The story takes place in the future where robots in the house and working with police and other agencies are considered normal. However, a super version of the common robots are programmed to take control of humans. Will Smith's character has to find out what is wrong with the new robots and how to stop them.

I have read Isaac Asimov's many science fiction books, written decades ago, like 1960's, and his work still holds up. This Will Smith movie version is a well-produced version of the Asimov robot basics, and honors Asimov's work. Excellent movie. Will Smith does not disappoint either!

If you are interested in Issac Asimov or if you are just interested in i,robot, you should at least check out this movie. Will Smith stands out as a lead character here but the fact that it is based on a hugely popular science fiction series more than makes up for it.

I think his picture is an interesting take on the future of robotics and our place in it. Will smith is a cybernetic police office with an ax to grind toward the robots he interacts with, leading to a chilling thought on the future of mankind.
