What to Know

Critics Consensus

Bearing only the slightest resemblance to Isaac Asimov's short stories, I, Robot is still a summer blockbuster that manages to make viewers think -- if only a little.

Leaving aside the sub-Matrix hokum about Spooner's sweet-potato-loving grandmom, the movie humiliates itself - and embarrasses us - by the amount of time it spends plugging a glamorous car... Go to Full Review Richard Corliss TIME Magazine Apr 1, 2019

1/4
Though the material possessed the potential for landmark genre filmmaking, the result feels like two hours of product placement, so-so-special FX, too much comic relief, and non-acting from a star sleeping through his performance. Go to Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET Mar 21, 2023

Bob K @Bklaza Sep 23, 2026 Great action pact thriller ! 👌 See more andrea C @Charst Sep 21, 2026 Will Smith è un personaggio anni '80 per le sue indefesse ed impopolari idee tanto vecchie quanto ottuse. Nonostante questo, proprio le caratteristiche del personaggio vengono in realtà integrate molto bene in una sceneggiatura che a distanza di anni sorprende per la sua realtà molto calzante. Le sequenze di azione sono inoltre molto ben fatte e la CGI tiene decisamente il passo; varietà di azioni e di location rendono il prodotto un vero pop corn movie.

This was a rewatch after decade and very timely with AI scares. There’s actually a lot of parallels to the current AI situation but anyways, besides that it’s just a great movie there’s a background mystery to solve there’s character arc there’s good acting and interesting premises. If your couch doesn’t come equipped with seatbelts think about it because you’re gonna wanna strap in for this one See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 17, 2026 I, Robot = a *3.5* star Movie!
