I, Robot is a 2004 mystery science-fiction action flick directed by Alex Proyas, who is best known for his incredible work on The Crow and Dark City.
Inspired by the novel “I, Robot” which features a collection of Issac Asimov's short stories, the film stars Will Smith, James Cromwell, Bridget Moynahan, Bruce Greenwood and Alan Tudyk as Sonny, the NS-5 robot suspected by the protagonist as being responsible for the death of his friend, mentor, and the creator of USR, an American company responsible for the creation and national distribution of several lines of intelligent robots that had now become an intrinsic part of society.

I freaking loved this movie as a kid, still love watching it from time to time.

Theres a secret 4th Law of Robotics: "When a robot inevitably turns evil, its eyes must glow red."
-
The part that I always found heart breaking is when they're talking about the ghost in the machine. How older robots when they were stowed away still huddle together. Perhaps looking for a sense of "warmth" that they are sorely lacking but crave desperately.

An hour and a half of Will Smith being racist to CGI robots
-
I keep telling ppl, this film was ahead of its time. Such a well made movie.
-
“I did not murder him!!!” “That one’s called anger...”

This movie was so ahead of its time. I absolutely love this movie and it will always be one of my favorites
-
So crazy to think this film is 15 years old now. It's honestly one of my all-time favorites, and I watch it again, often.
-
Definitely 1 of will Smith's overlooked gems. Great science fiction set in the universe created by isaac asimov. Good shit

When Spooner told the robot to save the girl. He yelled "SUNNY SAVE CALVIN!" He used their names. He humanized them as much as he could, trying to drive the point home to Sunny that he must make the humane choice. And it WORKED. I had chills when I first watched that.

Underrated gem, this film. I like to think that the difference between VIKI and Sonny in terms of the Zeroth Law Rebellion was that Sonny had a body and VIKI didn't. VIKI was basically a brain in a box that basically did nothing but think all the time, so her interaction with humans was limited, and she didn't feel emotions. Hence her cold and logical analysis that humans are pyschos and have to be ruled over for their own good. As Spooner would say, "She's just lights and clockwork". Sonny, on the other hand, could get up and interact with humans and the world around him directly, and through that interaction, he learned what being human really meant. Sonny even admitted to VIKI that he saw the logic to her plan, but in his own words, "It's just too.....heartless."
