What to Know

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.

TIME Magazine

In the end, I, Robot is just an assembly-line product of a not very advanced model.

Sydney Morning Herald

He excels in creating alternative worlds and the one here sustains the film, with a pristine beauty that's attractive and slightly sinister.

Deep Focus Review

Though the material possessed the potential for landmark genre filmmaking, the result feels like two hours of product placement, so-so-special FX, too much comic relief, and non-acting from a star sleeping through his performance.

Rated: 1/4

Gone With The Twins

Hargie M I can't help but acknowledge a few downsides to an otherwise captivating film. While the action sequences are undeniably thrilling, I couldn't shake the feeling that they sometimes overshadowed the deeper exploration of the film's thought-provoking themes. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Audience Member This was a good sci-fi action. I would say that it needed to be a little more engaging at the middle but it put out. It was enjoyable, I'd recommend it. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Jorge R Not bad. I enjoy Will Smith performance in the movie and the world building is interesting between humans and machines. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Aaron M Esta película recuerdo que la veía desde pequeño y me fascinó y para ser de aquellos años se ah conservado bien y su CGI no era tan malo para ser 2004 la acción el papel importante que tenía will Smith y el mensaje que da la película es algo cautivador y entretiene Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Spike G An effective action movie Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Shay C It's good.
