Watched I, Robot yesterday and to tell you
the truth I was bit disappointed. The CGI is great, even spectacular at times, Sonny’s
face does look really great and most of the animation is quite smooth and seamless.
The story, however, is nothing to write home about. The story line is built around Isaac
Asimov’s 3 Laws of Robotics, but doesn’t draw any more than that concept from
his stories. I think the thing that disappointed me the most was the having read Isaac
Asimov‘s stories as a kid, he painted a fascinating world where robots were an
extention of humanity’s mastery over its environment, while the film portrays an Artificial
Intelligence bent on controlling the world. The story does build to an interesting
climax, but the ending is a bit flat. Pity, they could have done so much more with
it.
