Top Film Critic Reviews for I,Robot

"Seriously, do you need film reviews to tell you what you already know? That the new studio meatloaf I, Robot—'suggested by' Isaac Asimov's book, as if the 50-year-old anthology pitched itself to Fox execs—is 18 kinds of overprocessed sheep crap? That rather than a thoughtful adaptation of a venerated piece of sci-fi lit, we get a dumbed-down litany of deliberate clichés and digital white noise? That sci-fi movies used to function as expressions of ideas, or at least apocalyptic daydreaming, and now are merely video games you can't play?"

“The movie itself is a cold, blank stare, and it's skyscraperish itself, always aware of its massive size and its state-of-the-art sleekness -- it has an edifice complex. Part whodunit, part action film, part chilly cautionary tale (don't think you're going to escape from its clutches without the obligatory 'We must save humanity from itself' scene), I, Robot strives to be so many things that it ultimately falls away to nothing, a heap of expensive metal parts.”

"Although I, Robot isn't quite as pulse-pounding or intellectually challenging as Minority Report, it stimulates many of the same areas of the brain, and causes the body to pump nearly as much adrenaline. In almost every way imaginable, it satisfies, and that (unfortunately) has been a rare quality at the multiplexes this summer. This is a movie to restore the faith of those who had given up on science fiction after The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions. By adeptly combining action and ideas, it proves that Hollywood can still produce astonishing entertainment."

"Oh, it's a hit. You know it. And that's good news for us, the willing minions of the military-industrial-complex of Sonys, Warners and other Big Brothers Inc. of our collective entertainment. I, Robot, which intercuts live action and computer-generated imagery with breathtaking seamlessness (can we still use tailoring terms for these things?), is fabulous mental escape. It's fun and playful, rather than dark and foreboding. And there doesn't seem to be an original cyber-bone in the movie's body. But it's put together in a fabulous package."
