I, Robot

I, Robot. Or: I, Product Placement. Let's have a look at the year 2035: Everybody in Chicago drives Audi. Well, special Audis, some of them with huge logos on the front grill with neon lights; the autopilot making sure this logo is always clearly visible in the shot whenever a camera is around. Will Smith's ride looks like an Audi TT covered in sugar coating.

Cool people own JVC stereos. Nice and glowing ones. And because Will Smith is so old-school, he's got a vintage stereo from the year 2004, so whoa, guess what, you could buy it right now if you wanted to. Just like his All-Star Cons that are often shown in close-ups and mentioned in dialogs.

But hey, why bitch about that. They have commercial breaks on TV too, and in I Robot, they're at least in the style of the movie and not that long.

But now to the movie itself. The credits state "Suggested by Isaac Asimov's Novel". I assume they took a Thesaurus and looked for the word that hints at the most vague connection between the original material and the movie.

But hey, the movie wasn't so bad after all. Okay, it's just blockbuster junk food, there's no denying of that, and some things are plain dumb. I particularly hated the idea of trying to squeeze some tears out of the audience after a robot is killed. What the fuck? Especially when considering that this movie was made by Alex Proyas who used to be the expert for the dark and gloomy and got now promoted (or demoted?) to the PG-13-boom-special-fx-with-big-budget department.

Some camera work is cool though, especially towards the end when there's some real tight-ass shit. The savior of this entire movie without doubt though is Will Smith (if you like him). He doesn't suck.

The CGI does, however. As you might expect, this movie is full of CGI. Sometimes it's kind of artificial, but then, sometimes it's fucking ridiculous. There's one scene with lots of crates somewhere. That totally reminded me of a computer game where they often have crates littered around (either for jump'n'run purposes or as cover in a FPS).

So... very generic. Watchable, but nothing special.
