Movie review - "I, Robot" (2004) **

The most clunky product placement in modern cinema? Set in the future,so Will Smith is into retro gear, like old music and converse shoes.Well, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. They still don't seem to have enough money left over from Smith's salary and the sfx bill to pay for a decent support cast. Bruce Greenwood was so excellent in 13 Days I thought he'd have a really strong career but he's been sidetracked into this ordinary villain roles. Bridget Monyahan is pretty to watch, but doesn't have much chemistry with Smith and we needed a few more interesting humans. Yes, there are the robots and boo-hoo isn't it sad the robots want feelings... but you know, what's going to happen when they start asserting themselves. Doesn't anyone remember The Terminator? And don't go pulling the "that's the same argument used to keep black people down" thing - black people are humans, robots are robots. So the ending gave me the creeps.
