I, Robot(2004) Staring-Will Smith & Bridget Moynahan.
Set in 2035 where robots are common assistants and workers for their human owners, this is the story of Police Detective Del Spooner's investigation into the murder of Dr. Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell), who works at U.S. Robotics, in which a robot, Sonny, appears to be implicated, even though that would mean the robot had violated the Three Laws of Robotics, which is It seems impossible because.. if robots can break those laws, there's nothing to stop them from taking over the world, as humans have grown to become completely dependent upon their robots. Or maybe... they already have? Aiding Spooner in his investigation is a psychologist, Dr. Susan Calvin, who specializes in the psyches of robots.
I found this film to be very enjoyable, anyone else?

I found it enjoyable. I knew what the twist was going to be before I'd even seen it....the title gives it away a bit!

I enjoyed the movie. Nothing like the book though. Hence the credit: "Inspired by the book by Isaac Asimov". At any rate, if you can forgive the Will Smith-isms in the script, I reckon it has all the spirit of the Asimov book and plays like an unpublished Asimov tale.
