Product Description
I ROBOT (BLURAY) (BLU-RAY DISC)
Amazon.com
As paranoid cop Del Spooner, Will Smith (Independence Day, Men in Black) displays both his trademark quips and some impressive pectoral muscles in I, Robot. Only Spooner suspects that the robots that provide the near future with menial labor are going to turn on mankind--he's just not sure how. When a leading roboticist dies suspiciously, Spooner pursues a trail that may prove his suspicions. Don't expect much of a connection to Isaac Asimov's classic science fiction stories; I, Robot, the action movie, isn't prepared for any ruminations on the significance of artificial intelligence. This likable, efficient movie won't break any new ground, but it does have an idea or two to accompany its jolts and thrills, which puts it ahead of most recent action flicks. Also featuring Bridget Moynahan (The Sum of All Fears), Bruce Greenwood (The Sweet Hereafter), and James Cromwell (Babe, LA Confidential). --Bret Fetzer

 I, Popcorn May 12, 2008
Cliches reign in this 'Who the hell is Asimov?' sci-fi flick that poses the question 'how many unnecessary camera moves can we do in one fx shot?'. Rock out with some of my favorites:
1. Open on a drowning scene involving our hero, which gets explained in flashback through the movie to the main reflection character.
2. The hero is a cop who lives alone but visits his 'heart of gold' grandmother in order to show his family's died, he's a loner, or just give us an excuse for dialog.
3. Hero actually says to sidekick 'We're not so different, you and I.' (Hero has a robot arm, presumably so he felt some degree of sympathy in an early draft of the script that got trashed.)
4. Hardened but good-natured black cop boss (oh for the 70s) actually says to hero 'Give me your badge'.
5. In classic B-movie/Outer Limits style, the world's biggest company is run by one evil man and about 3 other people. And - of course - he's not evil after all.
Bridget Whatever-her-name-is couldn't act her way out of a paper bag; even James Cromwell looks embarrassed as a hologram. Some of the parallels with slavery and genocide are overworked and unneeded.
But it has a couple of enjoyable sequences even though the robots look fake now (they looked good at the time). Btw, 'I am Legend' has continued the trend where we get to hang out with Smith in his undies while he works out, admires his own body, listens to music and showers because he's just *that* cool.
 A good movie, despite the poor reviews it was given by some. May 12, 2008
I'm surprised that, overall, this movie is only getting a rating of 3.5 stars. I really enjoy it, and so does the rest of my family. (We're between 15 and 49.) The story is good, the acting is good, and I think the movie carries a message relevant to today, as our society becomes increasingly mechanized/reliant on machinery.
What I like most about this movie is that it's action-packed without being too bloody or overly profane. I'm really squeamish, and I don't care for swear words, and lately, a lot of movies that are action-packed tend to involve one or both of those things, so I found iRobot to be a breath of fresh air.
However, parents of fairly young children beware - there is a shower scene involving Will Smith that you might feel is inappropriate for your kids. You don't see "the real thing", but there is a lot of skin visible.
Overall, I recommend iRobot highly. I think you'd enjoy it.

Great looking video and great DTS-HD audio track. If you have a PS3, it now decodes the DTS-HD track into a PCM for any HDMI receiver. I don't really care about special features, however they are good. Well worth the purchase.
awesome April 29, 2008
1080p.
The movie has insane computer graphics.
Blu Ray HD 1080p is clear, sharp, and insane.
Buy this now!
Great movie, but terrible price. April 8, 2008

This is one heck of an entertaining movie, featuring some of the most seamless CGI I've seen. The transfer quality - both video and audio - of this Blu-ray is fantastic; I'd easily use it as a title to show off the format. Unfortunately, I can't, because I refuse to pay the ridiculous prices that Fox continues to put on its titles. I can accept that new releases are more expensive, but I, Robot is a catalog title and the $27.95 price tag ($39.99 MSRP) is downright absurd, especially when every other studio out there sets catalogs (on Blu-ray/HD DVD) at $19.95. My advice - rent it for now and buy when there's a sale.
