 I,
ROBOT (2004)
Review by Mike Furches:
Unlike recent science fiction disasters and remakes, I, Robot understands
the importance of making a story relevant. Smith's character still likes
sweet potato pie made by his grandmother, and the less influence that
Robots have in his life, the better. Here is a reminder that sometimes
the simple things, and the things we are forced to do ourselves, are
among the most valuable things that we can experience. |
