I, Robot (2004) starring Will Smith. Not for Asimov purists, this movie puts a slightly more ominous twist on the Three Laws of Robotics. Will Smith stars as a detective in a futuristic Chicago, circa 2035. The rendering of the world of the future is imaginative and feels original, but the robots themselves are somewhat of a disappointment. They all look exactly alike and, though extremely strong, are not very tough. The overall arc of the plot makes sense however, and the writers deserve credit -- although the kernel of the story owes a debt to other, much earlier writers of science fiction. Grade: B
