I, Robot Movie Summary and Review

The main characters for the movie are: Sonny the robot, Del Spooner the detective, Dr.Suzan Calvin, and Dr. Alferd Lanning designer for the NS-5 robots. The movie takes place in 2035 Chicago, where robots rome the planet obeying their human master. All following the basic laws:

1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Dr.Alferd Lanning, creator of the NS-5 robots and the robotic laws, has died and Detective Spooner is on the investigation. Spooner believes that a robot has killed the amazing doctor so he searches his lab and he finds a robot named Sonny. Sonny happily attacked Spooner and Dr.Calvin, which means he is not programmed with the robotic laws. Sonny was a threat to all human life. As Spooner investigates he finds out that all NS-5 robots have a choice to obey the laws or not. The robots went out of control and started attacking humans and the police station. Spooner and Dr.Calvin get to U.S.R (the company that owns the robots) ,and with the help of Sonny, figure out that VICKI another robot system has got the robots under her control. She believes that to save humanity, you must give up some human lives. But they eventually destroy VICKI and the NS-5 are back under control. U.S.R send the NS-5 to a ruined yard to be taken away.

The main idea of the movie never put to much trust in to technology.

I give I,Robot 3 stars. My reasoning for giving the movie 3 stars is because, some parts of the movie was hard to understand, such as the rending of the movie. The actors did a great job with their acting and stunts. One thing i loved about this movie was the action and the robots. The robots looked so realistic, you would actually believe they were real. The action was great with all the high jumps, the fighting and gunshots. The final battle against the robots was really good, the bravery they showed to stand up to wild robots.
