You nailed it! My review parrots yours; instead of writing my own, I should’ve just referred to it. In retrospect, I think I read yours, and forgot. Sorry.

I read your review before I saw the movie, but I forgot you mentioned The Terminator until I reread it again yesterday after I saw the movie. I had a moment when I thought of The Terminator (it was towards the end). And I get what you're saying about Star Wars too. But I really liked the movie.

**Spoiler Alert -- Don't read if you haven't seen the movie!**

Jen, didn't you think there were a couple of niggling little flaws in the logic of the plot, though? I didn't write about them in the post, because I didn't want to put spoilers into the review. The central computer was just a little too vulnerable for my tastes, and the non-monitored service tunnels a bit too convenient.

But it's still a great summer action flick...I may have to see it again!

I went to see I,Robot this weekend expecting to hate it and boy was I in for a shock. While I won't call it the best movie of the year, I wouldn't hesistate to reccomend it to friends and family. There were too many cliches in the movie for my tastes, but that is a personal matter.

****Spoiler alert****

My hands down favorite sequence in this movie is when Will Smith goes to the robot storage area for the first time and the Doctor is giving his voice over on the Ghost's in the Machine. How robot programing will develop on it's own and in one sequence he mentions how the robots will instinctively stand together as opposed to standing apart. While he is saying this the camera is shooting from inside a container, the robots are huddled in a group along the right side of the container, and the light from Smith's flashlight lights the interior of the storage container brilliantly. I got goosebumps watching that scene. It was a classic Proyas moment.
