What to Know

Critics Consensus

Bearing only the slightest resemblance to Isaac Asimov's short stories, I, Robot is still a summer blockbuster that manages to make viewers think -- if only a little.

Sukhdev Sandhu Daily Telegraph (UK) Leaving aside the sub-Matrix hokum about Spooner's sweet-potato-loving grandmom, the movie humiliates itself - and embarrasses us - by the amount of time it spends plugging a glamorous car... Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Richard Corliss TIME Magazine In the end, I, Robot is just an assembly-line product of a not very advanced model. Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald He excels in creating alternative worlds and the one here sustains the film, with a pristine beauty that's attractive and slightly sinister. Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Though the material possessed the potential for landmark genre filmmaking, the result feels like two hours of product placement, so-so-special FX, too much comic relief, and non-acting from a star sleeping through his performance. Rated: 1/4 Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET A routine blockbuster for reliable entertainment. Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The way in which the robots acrobatically leap about, as if immune to the effects of gravity, is the main offender. Rated: 7/10 Sep 30, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Hutease A Who else is here after Elon musk released We Robot. Now we want a sequel of this movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review William B This was a fun movie to watch and the line "I'm allergic to bullshit" will live in my mind rent free for the rest of my memorable life. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review John A Visually resonant and well-cast although it is not nearly as cerebral or enlightening as a film containing this kind of subject matter should be. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Oaklee D Futuristic yet dated, the story contains more than enough for this to be a thoroughly enjoyable film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Korra N Visually stunning with some insane action sequences and surprisingly great acting, I, Robot is a solid sci-fi thriller that doesn't do anything new, but instead gives a new heart to an old story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review Faiz D An entertaining thrill ride with some great actions. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
