Playaa July 17, 2004 Share Playaa Member July 17, 2004 when I first saw the previews for this film, I told my friends "if they do this right, it could be one of the greatest sci-fi films ever". Well, that was before I knew that Isaac Asimov actually wrote a book of short stories called..."I, Robot". (the movie is only based off of the book) So yeah, they already had the story then...so basically the acting and the presentation would be the main areas to screw up. Just saw it today...and I gotta say....giving it at LEAST a 9/10...possibly a 9.5 depending upon how I feel seeing it a 2nd time (which I will no doubt do). Will Smith is always an excellent actor in my mind because he can be funny, serious, and pretty much everything you throw at him. The robots in this film were pretty good CGI...as in I rarely had to think about them being CGI...not as good as Gollum, but 10 times better than Jar-Jar Binks. I want to just rave about this film...but I'd give away spoilers... simply put...I believe this movie is DEFINATLY going to be a classic sci-fi...it seemed ALOT about the characters and the storytelling but it still threw in the "cool" scenes and jokes. The movie didn't excite me as much as the Matrix did the first time...but I'd watch this film 10 times before watching the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies any day. yeah...go see this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman July 17, 2004 Share Hitman Member July 17, 2004 When I saw the previews it looked like an ok movie. It didn't look like it'd be that good, but it looked entertaining. Saw it yesterday... I guess I'd give it an 80/100, much better than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative on the "same role" thing...ever seen "Six Degrees of Separation"? Not the same role at all...at all. Is that the movie where they try to prove the theory that every person is related to every other person by 6 people? I had a teacher talk about it once, but I've never seen it myself.. Well, look at these: Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, MIB, MIB II, Independance Day and Wild Wild West. He was a bit of a baby with a tough side that made the occasional joke. Just something I've noticed over the years =O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchtower July 21, 2004 Share Watchtower Member July 21, 2004 I actually heard on the radio today that Will went to a bunch of psychiatrists to get the scoop on the "sole survivor" syndrome.. They went into his adjustments a bit.. Paranoia was one of the characteristics he supposedly tried to incorporate.. NOt seeing it, I don't know how well he did. Looks like a good movie. How was the shower scene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soul .gc July 23, 2004 Share soul .gc Member July 23, 2004 Saw it last night. After the horrible King Arthur last week we were hoping for a good movie. We were not let down. This movie was a great "big screen" flick. The acting was good, the special effects were out-of-this-world, there were some good laughs and the action scenes were quite well done and made the viewer feel involved. The only part none of us liked was one of the end scenes with some type of homage to ID4 that just felt out of place. Other then that I highly recommend parting with the $6.50 student price (we are all students of life)... We gave it an 85/100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gOOters July 31, 2004 Share gOOters Member July 31, 2004 It was great, and the two or three small twists in the plot make me feel happy to give it 86/100. Will Smith was in his element, and the movie really had a "blockbuster" feel to it with the action and amazing special effects. The coolest thing about the special effects is that they were not totally blown out of proportion...they really seemed plausable. Interesting story and very decent acting made this a summer "must see". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyklik August 4, 2004 Share Cyklik Member August 4, 2004 Yeah, when I went back to see it with friends, I watched for the product placements he was talking about. Advertising is taking over the world. They've already begun throwing little advertisments for products in games. Driv3r was covered in Sobe ads.

soul .gc August 4, 2004 Share soul .gc Member August 4, 2004 It is the new wave of commercials. There was an article not long ago showing the decline in people watching commercials. Many TIVO or record shows nowadays and skip all the commercials so the companies are turning to other areas to get their name out. I dislike commercials a lot but without them there would be no good television shows. I do like to see how they work in some advertisements into shows, like the "coca-cola insignia" shaped couch on American Idol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
