In a future where eugenics has become the norm, an aspiring astronaut stuck on earth due to the supposed inferiority of his genes assumes a new identity in a bid to join the space program.
In 2030s Chicago, private detective Del Spooner (Smith) is embroiled in a search to get to the bottom of a robotics company CEO’s mysterious suicide. Alex Proyas (Dark City, The Crow) struggled against the studio to make this sci-fi blockbuster, loosely tethered to ideas from the eponymous novel by Isaac Asimov. What I, Robot lacks in fidelity to Asimov (or narrative sophistication), it makes up for with 2000s CGI spectacle, envisioning a society where humankind has shifted its dependency onto slave automatons uncannily similar to the ones in Chris Cunningham’s video for “All is Full of Love” by Bjork.
