I, Robot (Movie Review)

I go to the movies quite often, so I figure I will post my reviews of movies that I see. Tonight I saw "I, Robot" at Cinema Cafe. It stars Will Smith and Bridget Moynahan (I spent the whole movie trying to figure out what other movie I had seen her in...the answer is "The Recruit"). The movie was pretty entertaining. It takes place in the future (oooooh) in the year 2035. It has the standard sci-fi plot of robots/machines gaining intelligence and attempting to take over the world. As a human, I really appreciate people like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves and Will Smith taking time out to save the human race. In the real world, Arnold would definitely be my pick to save mankind. I just don't think The Fresh Prince is up to the challenge of preserving the human race...especially since he will become demoralized after DJ Jazzy Jeff is inevitably killed during the first 30 seconds of the robot attacks.

Anyway, the movie has lots of action and cool special effects. The robots are especially fun to watch. There is a great amount of dialogue, scenery and ideas stolen from other movies. But at least they "borrowed" from good movies...so it works. I recommend you see the movie, although I am glad I waited to see it at Cinema Cafe rather than pay $8.50 at the regular movie theater. I will try to come up with some cool way of recommending (or not) the films I review...i.e. "thumbs up." Let me know if you have any ideas.

One final question: In the "future" why do all of the buildings look brand new (and white)? In the future do we tear down buildings and rebuild them again every couple of years to take advantage of cool, new elevators and doors? I just kinda figured that in the future (2035) we would have a bunch of really old buildings, not new shiny ones.
