go watch it.
Another movie that is up there with the matrix.
Surpringly MUCH MUCH better then the previews.
This is the closest thing to a full length movie about the next renaissance.
-
I thought it was an excellent movie as well
-
One of the best this year. Better then Spiderman 2 and Chronicals of Rhiddic for sure.
-
You spelled Riddick wrong.
*Signs the spam*
\After having watched I Robot by, um, less disarable means, I found it to be an engrossing and excellent movie.
I will be going to the theaters tommarow to watch it in all its glory.
-
I just cant see how you do that. I have to see the movie in the theature first.
Just ruins it if its all cam'd
-
i loved i, robot, i saw it last night, i think the preview people are fvcking retards no offense but they give all the good movies like c's and d's and then gives movies like titanic and under the tuscan sun a's....im just like wtf!?!
-
I imagine I'm going to go see this movie, and just be angry and bitter when I get out of the theaters.
You'll all hear about it. Believe me.
And for the record, Spider-Man 2 was the fucking shit.
-
I really want to see it now. I wasn't sure whether to expect good or bad hype about it. Spider-man 2 was good, not as good as the first one if you ask me, and I don't see why critics are calling it the best film of the year so far. I have no doubt that it is possible for I, Robot to better. Also, everyone should check out the song I, Robot by Coheed and Cambria.
-
Very unexpected, a+ in my book :)
Hacked by Tbone. No spoilers please!
-
ug zink you rewons it you fat little hobbits you rewens it...okay now that i got that out some of us havent seen it so dont ruin the movie for us okay. good
-
I think I-Robot takes the crown from Spiderman 2.. I liked spiderman 2 but I just think this was better.
-
I'm gonna go see it tonight.
-
I was skeptical of it but I'm really wanting to go see it very soon. AS far as Chronicles of Riddick, I didn't like it at all and I'm really waiting on Aliens vs. Predator.
-
Thankx Zink for ruining the movie :P but still nevertheless I'm going to see it. I wanna see the robot killing the other robots. I havent seen Spidey 2 yet but I need too.
Oh and yeah the critics do suck. They give everything good a bad rating, and everything thats bad a good rating. I guess the are good for something, just go out and see everything that they call bad.
-
yeah... don't spoil it! ;)
-
omg seriously.....its a will smith movie for the love of god...who the hell else would win? i didn't spoil it
-
Yeah I.. *notices new set of bouncing boobs* I um..... I... err.. oh just forget it
-
heh.

I read Asimov's book a long time ago, so I'm a little shady on the specifics, but I remember it being an excellent novel. As for the movie, I'm a little nervous about seeing, as I've read the book and we all know how that tends to go. But from what I'm hearing on here, I guess it's worth it.
-
From what I've heard, it's nothing like the book. Though I could be thinking of something else, and I have nothing to base that on other than hearsay, as I've neither seen the movie or read the book.
-
From what I've heard, the movie wasn't originally written with Asimov's book in mind. It had a different title and everything, but they decided to call Asimov's estate and ask for permission to use some of his ideas and the title of his book "I, Robot". They got permission and used the 3 laws of robotics and a few names of Isaac's characters, but kept their own storyline.
-
Ahh...well that's interesting.
-
It's not come out in UK yet, but ive seen trailers from it and might put it on my dowload list, inbetween COR and King Arthur.
-
Ah, I didn't know that. I was under the impression that it was basically another director's attempt at mutilating a popular sci-fi classic. Well that's good I suppose, at least I'll be less critical about it.
-
Just saw it today, and I've got to admit it was pretty good.
The CG Robots are amazing. I love the part where they are all moving in sync.
-
The movie was pretty good. Not great. Better than the Matrix Sequels, as this actually had a pretty strong storyline, and better acting for what it was. This and Spider-Man 2 are two completely different animals though, so I'm somewhat torn on which I'd consider better. Overall I'd say Spider-Man 2, as the acting, writing, action sequencies, humor, etc. etc. are all much better. Will Smith just isn't funny in this movie, also, he's extremely limited in range as an actor. He ends up playing himself in every movie he's in.
Also, they used some pretty bad surprise techniques. When you make a movie and purposely do everything in your power to make somebody look like the bad guy, and leave absolutely no clues or hints at all that it could be somebody else, then the surprise isn't very effective. I mean yeah, I was surprised when I found out the head-hancho was VICKI, but it's kind of like "Well, I should have guessed, since pretty much EVERY fucking robot movie has some super Skynet computer turning out to be the villian." And the more you think about it, the more it's just kind of like "Well they basically told us nothing that would lead us to believe it'd be VICKI, so why should I care?"
Also, I REALLY hate it when people without super-powers are able to do retarded stunts no human being alive could accomplish on the spot. For instance: When Smith is on his motorcycle, drives it up a car turned into a ramp, and while he's flying through the air he pulls out two pistols, takes out two or three robots while still in the air, then BACKFLIPS off the motorcycle and sends the bike into several more robots, finally landing on his feet.
Fuck that. Just once I'd like to see somebody try something that stupid, fall on his face, have half his flesh get skinned off of his skull, and then he has to be rushed to a hospital for a broken neck along with extreme tissue damage.
When you start making people do Matrix shit like that without a good reason for it, it just makes me take the movie less seriously.
Other than that, it was pretty decent.
-
maybe i'm just less critical... or perhaps easier to entertain. I didn't think any of that when I was watching it. I was totally dumbfounded and completely entralled. I really really liked it.
-
I enjoyed the movie greatly. I really think it gives examples of how machines can have DREAMS!! *wink* *Wink* Jester *wink* *wink* And how they can have emotions. This was a great movie indeed.
Also I was glad to hear that:
1. Blade is coming out with a 3rd movie! Yup Yup! Of course the 2nd could have been better, but hey isn' there a saying about the 3rd time around? It's called Blade Trinity and it comes out in Dec.
2. I know most of you probably have atleast heard about Alien vs. Predator. But now it's coming to life! Come August we're going to be seeing the war in action! I don't think they should only talk about the war though, but give some synopsis of how it started, and what's been going on until the movie's release.
3. We all know about Resident Evil 2.
Go and see ALL these movies. I promise you won't, or atleast most of us, won't be disappointed. :D
-
i,robot was awesome, he was part machine, who knows, doctor could of fixed him up with some atamantium bones while he was in the shop. who knows? lol (sorry for xmen example, it was on my mind at the time) and blade3 hopefully will be cool...hope...and as for resident evil 2, it doesn't look as good as the first one, but we can hope...hope....
-
What was the last good movie based on a video game you saw?
Huh? that's right nothing! Not even Final Fantasy. (Though Advent Children will be awesome)
So RE2 will suck, I promise.
-
well the final fantasy movie wasnt great, but it was pretty good. as far as Resident Evil, i liked the first one, so im probably gonna check out the 2nd one too. And i cant wait to see I, robot too.
-
I just saw it today. It is the best film that I have seen in awile! Way better than Chronicles of Riddick which seemed to have no plot whatsoever.
-
i got a better title. "The Chronicles of RIDDICKulous" This movie wasnt worth the matinee price of $6.50. it had no plot, and was just boring. not to mention, Judi Dench completely killed the movie, she had a total of 5 minutes in the entire thing, and that was enough to destroy it. they should have left her out. Anyone who knows how to use Adobe Premiere or Adobe After Effects could have pulled this movie together in about 10 minutes.
-
Resident Evil 2 will probably suck as bad as the first one. Alien Vs. Preditor will probably be as bad as Alien Resurrection, though possibly more entertaining.
Blade 3 I'm sure I'm going to hate for the same reasons I hated the second one.
-
Wow dude is there ANYTHING that pleases you?
-
lol, just not a fan of the "monster/vampire" stories i guess, maybe winnie the pooh will satisfy you, j/k
-
How bout the Sci-fi genre?
Other than I,Robot I have not seen a good sci-fi movie in the past 5 years.
-
dune was a pretty good scifi movie
-
I loved the movie ive seen it 5 times now and am going to see it again today and tomarrow.... Will Smith is soooo hot!
-
Will Smith is soooo hot!
So is Sonny.
-
How did you know my secret obsession!
-
Because the.watcher has the same obsession......
-
sorry i'd have to disagree, give me the doctor anytime!
-
What doctor?
JK about sonny.
I think my only obsession is with Quistis ^^^
Other than that, I try to stick to real people.
-
This movie was so awesome. I could watch it over and over and still love it. You had to love Sonny man! He was the best character!
-
the doctor that commited suicide. or "scientist" :)
-
Dariagaz, I wasn't talking about you with that's anything comment ;)
-
I was kind of skeptical about this one but seems like its a safe bet. I did enjoy spidey 2 despite everyones complaints about the love story heck if I can sit through hayden and natalie portman talking about everlasting love I can handle toby and dunst.
Sci Fi movies that were good....hmmm....yeah it has been a while hasn't it?
-
the doctor that commited HOMIcide. or "scientist" :)
*wink *wink
That's what you mean. That guy... who isn't even in 95% of the movie...
-
This post is a little late, everyone has prob already seen it. Phenominal! Computer effects very lifelike. Did anyone see "The making of..." Sooooooooooooooo much green-screen, but great movie. A long time ago I read the book. I love the logic of the 3 laws. :mrgreen:
-
man i am so looking foward to it it looks sosososososo kool :) gotta get money tho that old catch
-
Lol yeah not having money sucks doens't it? I thought it was great how VIKI turned the 3 laws into her perspective. This actually shows that she *thought* about it! She actually pondered the three laws. Which means that she has humans feelings. Oh and I love Sonny.....I wish he was alive... :(
