Critics Consensus
Bearing only the slightest resemblance to Isaac Asimov's short stories, I, Robot is still a summer blockbuster that manages to make viewers think -- if only a little.

www R @retaraeprod 10h good watch, isn’t will smiths best movie but it gets you with some mystery See more Josphat I @RT20563539 Jun 17 Though nearly two decades old, this film on technology's societal impact feels more relevant than ever as its predictions unfold, painting a chilling picture of a robot-controlled world. AI is taking over. This will always be one of the best old-school movies. See more Lanfranco C @Lanfrancobz Jun 2 Can the Robots have a soul? The Men have it, sometime!

Synopsis In 2035, highly intelligent robots fill public service positions throughout the world, operating under three rules to keep humans safe. Despite his dark history with robotics, Detective Del Spooner (Will Smith) investigates the alleged suicide of U.S. Robotics founder Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell) and believes that a human-like robot (Alan Tudyk) murdered him. With the help of a robot expert (Bridget Moynahan), Spooner discovers a conspiracy that may enslave the human race.
