I, Robot (2004)
6/10
No no, Sonny. No no.
20 July 2004
Warning: Spoilers
Playing around with ethics is always a tough sell. It seemed a little heavy handed, but that could be me. The thing that really got me *+*+*+ `spoilers ahead'+*+*+* is the big box in the sky taking control of so many [fingers if you will] and then they zap it and all the individuals are instantly just fine. Seems to me the analogy of updating software would make each independently evil and there would be no instant fix. Once they think they know better, there is no going back. Short of erasure. But that would be a different movie. Even if the pie in the sky could take control the individuals they ultimately would be deeply effected … sort of a robo-post-traumatic-stress-syndrome.

Things I liked: Becoming a slave to our possessions / creations theme - Buff Will, really cut - Street scenes - Robot special effects.

Things I had difficulty with: Product placement - When the gang of robots attacked his car he got out of it way too easy - The computer did not notice that sonny had not died - Robot power source.
