I, Robot [WS] [DVD] [2004]

If you just want an interesting SF story, this should fill the bill. But if you're a staunch Asimov fan, you may be disappointed, or even possibly upset. The story here is only loosely connected to Asimov's Robot stories. The end credits say it is "Suggested by" Asimov's works (not "Based on"). The film does mention the 3 laws of robotics, and evens mentions the 0th law, but does so in a way that isn't exactly the way Asimov portrayed it. The film stretches things rather severely to show robots acting against man in opposition to the laws. The single BluRay disc contains both 3D and 2D versions of the film. It comes up in 3D mode by default (for menus), and asks which version you want to watch when you choose to play. If you don't have a 3D setup, you can guess the blurred text well enough to make it work. Then again, if you don't have a 3D setup, you probably wouldn't buy this edition anyway. There are no Bonus Features on the BluRay disc. If you really like such additions, and are considering upgrading from the DVD release which had numerous features, then don't worry -- the DVD included in the set is the same one as the DVD release and has all the same features on it. So it just means the BFs you get are all DVD quality instead of HiDef. But you don't lose them.

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.

I love the LG OLED 55 inch TV which we recently purchased !! 4K ultra high definition is just awesome to watch. We also purchased an LG soundbar along with a wireless subwoofer. Haven't had that before, now its a necessity for great sound to go with this SUPER picture quality. We did also get the curved screen model which really helps you view the same great picture from most any angle. I'm sure the flat screen is also so good you probably wouldn't even think about the available curved screen. The LG controls on the remotes are really easy to get used to in a hurry. Very pleased, Just cannot say enough about this beautiful TV. THE QUALITY IS REMEMBERED LONG AFTER THE PRICE IS FORGOTTEN. Go for it if you've saved up enough to do it !!

The story will keep your attention to the end. The Robots and automation show the possibilities of what man can create. But, can it be wisely controlled? I can recommend the movie story highly, but the 3D version is formatted with lost a portion of the sides of the image but has minor added image height vs. the 2D version. The 3D is also not the best as it is simulated from the 2D images. As such, I prefer the 2D version.

Love Will Smith as an accomplished and convincing actor, however this haunting Sci-fi action investigates the dark history of Robots and humans. Will plays Detective Del Spooner and this discovery of a conspiracy to enslave the human race!

I’m a big Will Smith fan and I, Robot is one of those movies that you can watch every so often, it just has that certain level of entertainment to it. Similar to movies like Taken, any Fast and Furious, or the Jump Street movies. If you are bored and don’t know what to do, pop in the disc and hit play, most of the time I will find myself watching the movie and then start doing so minor drawing or Gameboy playing.

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.

Never as good as the book, bur very well done movie version. Giving as a gift to a Sif-Fi lover.
