Our take on I, Robot

Alex Proyas's 2004 sci-fi action film unfolds in a 2035 where humanoid robots are commonplace and bound by three safety laws meant to make them harmless. A technophobic detective, distrustful of the machines from the start, investigates an apparent suicide and comes to suspect a robot was responsible, following the case toward the possibility that humanity itself is at risk. Proyas wraps a chase-driven thriller around familiar questions about artificial intelligence, obedience and control, keeping the pace propulsive and the visuals sleek. It suits viewers who want accessible, idea-flavoured science fiction with clear action beats. Expect a brisk mystery more interested in momentum than deep philosophy.
