Article 19 Movie Review: I, Robot
***** (5 stars out of 19)
I thought Will Smith had become a decent actor (Ali!); I thought fabulous special effects could keep me interested through a silly script; I thought a film based on an Isaac Asimov story would have some questions and insights worth thinking about.

There was one 30-second stretch in which a (dead) character offers a somewhat compelling set of questions about what it means to be human. The other hour, 54 minutes and 30 seconds were stooooo-pid. Way more stupid than I expected.
