I Robot was made in 2004 with Will Smith as Del Spooner and Bridget Moynahan as Susan Calvin and Alan Tudyk as Sonny. The setting has this movie take place in New York in the year 2035 where most of the world relies on robots and flying cars and other future technologies we do not have at this time. In this film, we have Will Smith, our main character in the film who is a cop for the NYPD, also known as the New York police department. He is on quest to find robots that are hurting and killing people and that are being used for the wrong things. Later on in the film, Will Smith also known as Del Spooner meets a robot scientist named Susan Calvin who wants to help stop the robots from turning evil and hurting other people. Moreover, Will Smith makes the character believable and his performance was outstanding in every way. Bridget Moynahan’s performance as good as Will Smith’s character, but could have been better. The character Del Spooner does not trust robots in any way. During the film, he is motivated by a past accident by where a young girl lost her life. Doctor Susan Calvin is a scientist whose job it is to make robots more human and put more human characteristics in them. She has not been very successful at her job, but she knows the ins and outs to help Spooner out with the robots and the building that robots are being made and programed in. The theme of the movie is science is getting out of hand and hurting people and we can take technology way too far .The audience learns at the end of the movie, to not always trust technology because it can always back fire on you. According to the New York Times review by A. O. Scott on July 16, 2004, the movie is inspired by " Isaac Asimov's classic book of short stories, this sleek, hectic thriller engages some interesting ideas on its way to an overblown and incoherent ending.” I agree that is a thriller but I feel that the ending was understandable. My overall opinion is that the movie is worth your time and money if you like action scfi movies.
