Storyline

Set in a future Earth (2035 A.D.) where robots are common assistants and workers for their human owners, this is the story of "robotophobic" Chicago Police Detective Del Spooner's investigation into the murder of Dr. Alfred Lanning, who works at U.S. Robotics, in which a robot, Sonny , appears to be implicated, even though that would mean the robot had violated the Three Laws of Robotics, which is apparently impossible. It seems impossible because.. if robots can break those laws, there's nothing to stop them from taking over the world, as humans have grown to become completely dependent upon their robots. Or maybe... they already have? Aiding Spooner in his investigation is a psychologist, Dr. Susan Calvin, who specializes in the psyches of robots. Written by Austin4577@aol.com

Trivia

One of the many advertisements shown on huge outdoor flat screen TVs in the future is an advertisement mentioning the first manned mission to Mars. When Spooner is at Kalvin's house after Lanning's house is destroyed, Kalvin's personal robot is watching TV, the program he is watching shows some photos of Mars taken from that mission. See more »

Goofs

Dr Lanning has been thrown through a window and the pane has a smooth hole with no fractures in the remaining glass. This is inconsistent with Spooner's demonstration when he cracks the next pane with the chair and the glass cracks all over (as expected). See more »

Great Special Effects, Looked Real And A Good Story Overall.
2 January 2005 | by (San Pedro, California) – See all my reviews

I thought the concept of the storyline was good, as it could be conceived as realistic. Given the ever increasing advances in modern technology, one can, indeed, conceive the possibility of this kind of future occurrence.

I did not really see any flaws in this movie or in the actor's character but the philosophical aspect of the movie questions at what point does artificial intelligence cease to be artificial and true consciousness arise? Anyhow, I did like the A.I. in this movie and would definitely recommend, especially if you like Will Smith movies are the Terminator series. I do, however, prefer there to be no sequels to this movie due to the fact that a sequel would probably be no more than a revamped version of the first one. With that being said, I recommend seeing it. 8/10
