    Storyline

    Edit
    In 2035, techno-phobic homicide detective Del Spooner of the Chicago PD heads the investigation of the apparent suicide of leading robotics scientist, Dr. Alfred Lanning. Unconvinced of the motive, Spooner's investigation into Lanning's death reveals a trail of secrets and agendas within the USR (United States Robotics) corporation and suspicions of murder. Little does he know that his investigation would lead to uncovering a larger threat to humanity. —ahmetkozan

    • Trivia
      No re-shoots were required, a rarity for a movie as big as this.
    • Goofs
      A suspension bridge requires the large cable to be hanging between two towers. There is only one tower standing, so the other end of the cable is just dangling, not connected to anything. Without the cable, such a short section of bridge deck could easily support itself just resting on the tower, as happens during construction of a cable-stay bridge.
    • Quotes

      Detective Del Spooner: Human beings have dreams. Even dogs have dreams, but not you, you are just a machine. An imitation of life. Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a... canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?

      Sonny: Can *you*?

    • Crazy credits
      Instead of opening credits, the beginning of the movie features Isaac Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics: LAW I. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. LAW II. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. LAW III. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

    I,Robot
    The first time I saw this movie,I was just really surprised!What a good movie,it's just my taste.I love it,and I've seen it for about four times,and I can still watch it for another four more times!It's full of Sci-fi and action,they're both my favorite genre.

    Sometimes I'm thinking about the robots in the movie,I think the thing that happens in the movie will come true in the future,how will the human in that Age,I believe there'll be a hero who'll save the world from being dominate by those cunning robots,they have no hearts,no love,no emotion,they just have an empty metal body.What'll happen if we're really ruled by them?I can't imagine how it could be,people are doing hard works while the robots are whipping them,how terrible.

    Now,science and technology are well developed,human will use robots, let's think about our future,please care about ourselves.
