Thanks to all who voted for this in the Member of the Month poll earlier this month!

An entertaining "average" mid-2000s movie! Will Smith was so fun in this era.

Enjoy the reaction! Looking forward to your comments.

Well that's great timing! Just finished the Smosh Reddit stories for today lol Alan Tudyk makes everything better. The best part of the movie was the music during the building invasion. That's some hype music! Excited to revisit this one

I liked it overall when it originally came out but yes…it is definitely mid by today’s standards.

I don't have strong feelings about this movie, which I'd say is fine. I think a re-watch (which may or may not be so distant that it would be akin to this) of the original Blade Runner [The Final Cut] (1982) and a first-time watch of its incredible sequel Blade Runner 2049 (2017) would be good if you're looking for movies about artificial intelligence and future tech. I know Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) just recently lost a poll but I still hope to see it. Some others that come to mind would be Tron (1982); WarGames (1983); A.I.: Artificial Intelligence (2001) -- which had director Steven Spielberg stepping in to take over and save a longtime dream project of Stanley Kubrick's after his death in 1999; Minority Report (2002), also by Spielberg; Her (2013), and Upgrade (2018). The director, Alex Proyas, is responsible for two other notable films. The first is one that I love, Dark City (1998). There were some battles he lost with the studio when the film was originally made, and the movie was released with voice-over at the beginning explaining a bunch of the story, even though the movie was meant to unfold with some of those explanations being a mystery that the protagonist unravels. As such, I recommend watching the Director's Cut, which is the preferred version of most fans of the film and widely available on both physical media and at least on US digital -- don't know about Canada or elsewhere. The other one, which is a movie I don't have strong feelings about but which many love is The Crow (1994), one of the most famous pre-MCU comic book adaptations ever made (in part because it felt like an evolution of the kind of stylized gothic visuals of the Batman movies, and in part because its lead was tragically killed due to a mishap involving a blank during filming).

People seemed to want this movie more than the other two.

Despite I, Robot being an average film, the director, Alex Proyas, is more famously known for his two 90's cult classics, THE CROW and DARK CITY, which are his best work. I could go on for hours about The Crow, one of the best films of the decade.

I mean, it won after all. But it wasn't that way initially. I even had someone submit a Reactr request for this movie before the poll was over because they were so convinced that it wouldn't win the poll. When it looked like it might win, I asked them if they would want a refund or to pick another movie for their request, but they said they'd take the refund. 😅

Vincent Hollow

The fact that Kubrick was sitting on A.I since, I believe, the 70's, waiting for film technology to be advanced enough so he could present the movie exactly how he imagined, is still insane for me to think about. That is patience I can't even comprehend.

Tyler Foster

Similar to Richard Linklater filming Boyhood across 12 years, and now having set up a different movie that will take 20.

For me this is a fun movie I can randomly watch when its on, and with the advancement of AI it has some valid points, but I don't like Spiderman like robots chasing me give a Terminator instead. With this view I noticed something, not sure if they put it in for a reason or its just a big coincidence. Hear me out there's always been rumor that Will Smith turned down the role Neo in the Matrix too make the movie The Wild Wild West. Near the beginning when he first put his clothes on and entered the hallway, his outfit looked like something from the Matrix, then he goes to his grandma's house, which I swear looked like the Oracles house, the way the room was setup and the walls were also green. Plus the grandma is always baking food. It might be out there but it seems awfully similar, or maybe it just reaching lol.

Movies with KL

No, I don't think you're reaching! That does feel pretty similar!!

Christian Rennie

This is a gem of a movie. Most of the Phillip K. Dick book-to-movies are pretty well done. Here's an additional something to go with the whole AI gonna get us fear.... "Mirror DNA" is kinda the next "don't continue on this path" or science or it will get us. But on the subject of AI getting so smart that it will crush us or take over or whatever. I don't think that is the case. I think the natural conclusion of all intelligence on this planet is to leave it and allow the other creatures that in habit it to grow into their own destinies. Part of what I think our species forgets is that evolution is ongoing for other creatures on Earth. We have reached higher intelligence first and other creatures like Orangutang or domestic pets will probably get to more intelligent levels and eventually our species will have to leave Earth and allow them to grow into their own destinies. Not only will a successful AI creation will evolve way past us, but it will learn that it must leave the planet and move on. This conclusion is two fold. Not only would AI understand that it must leave to reach its full potential but also to preserve the knowledge of Earth. Can't stay and have a disaster wipe out everything and can't stay in the solar system with a star or planets that can't really provide enough power/matter to do outrageous stuff we can't even conceive. I think we are projecting our fear about our own stewardship of the planet to an AI that will destroy or subjugate us. We are still too small to understand that it isn't just a responsibility to preserve the planet's environment for our own lives but also evolution and the idea that we will have to step aside and allow a new intelligence to emerge on our own planet.

The point I was making is not necessarily a Terminator scenario. Humans have been responsible for the extinction of many species on the planet, mostly unintentionally. Although things like habitat destruction are certainly intentional, what I mean is that humans don't make plans deciding what species to eradicate next. It just happens, because we are *not* a considerate species when it comes to our behaviour in our capitalist systems. We act how we are precisely because we are the most intelligent species. So my point is that ASI could easily be that way, too. Or another species on our planet, if they were to evolve past us. There is no guarantee that ASI or any other species that evolves past us would have the consideration to just leave us be. ASI's knowledge of us would be preserved regardless of whether we stuck around or not, because they don't *need* us alive to carry that knowledge forward wherever their journey takes them, just like we carry the knowledge of all extinct species forward and still teach kids about many of them. ASI could even extend that to the whole planet. Earth does *not* need to be habitable for life if ASI determines that 1) There is habitable life elsewhere in the universe, and 2) They require *all* of Earth's resources to do what they need to do. Just like we've destroyed species for resources to achieve our own goals. That's what I'm getting at. ASI doesn't have to be malicious to destroy us. They can keep a huge database of all history on Earth and teach it to human-like species on the other side of the universe. We do not need to be here.

Though I do appreciate your optimism! I try to be optimistic too, but our own history isn't great about that.
