Movies: I, Robot

This blog is about books but I thought I'd like to also make a list of movies and DVD sets that I watch. We don't go to the movies very often, anywhere from 0-4 times a year, so most of our movie-watching is done at home. Most of the movies we watch are borrowed from the library for free. Our library doesn't have the greatest selection of movies but it's not half bad either. We buy movies on DVD occasionally, especially when Wal-Mart has big sales. I also have a thing for TV Show Seasons on DVD. I expect my movie 'reviews' will be short and sweet.

I'll start with last night's movie, the first we watched in 2008.

I, Robot


Director: Alex Proyas
Starring: Will Smith
Released: 2004
Own/Rent: Own
Reason for watching: I love Will Smith. I love science fiction movies and having read the book was interested in it.
"Suggested" by the book I, Robot by Isaac Asimov which I have read many years ago.
Rating: 3.5/5

Comments: The movie has nothing whatsoever to do with the book of short stories I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. It basically used a few ideas and the same title. I really enjoyed the movie but it could have been better. There wasn't a lot of oomph or 'special' special effects. Will Smith was good. I love him in this type of movie. The robots were creepy and I don't ever want to have one of those things. The cars driving themselves and the vertical parking were very cool, though. A fun sci-fi flick. Recommended.
