I, Robot (2004)

Not very science-fictiony, but I did like the Naked Will Smith bit. A nice follow up to his work in Independence Day, one of the first science fiction movies where the black guy survived. Here, we have one of the first science fiction movies where we see naked male bodies, not naked female. But -- in both cases -- there just didn't seem to be any there there, story wise. Nothing new, nothing interesting, nothing especially moving. Just a competently packaged retelling of classic themes. With, again, a naked Will Smith. No bad there.

It was fun, well acted, well shot, but hardly worthy of the Asimov shout out. There is a deep and disturbing story lurking in the I Robot tale, and they didn't get close to it.
