There were a couple loose ends but the story was mostly solid plenty of twists.

I liked the robots fighting, it was so lethal and soulless, you never see stuff like that.
The futuristic world they created I thought was very good too, not cheesy or overdone like alot of movies do. Well thought out and realistic. Good special effects too. That Audi was slammed though. :exnbp:

I dont get why it was necessary to see Will Smith's ass in the first 5 mintues though :ugh: But I was surprised he actually starred in a movie that turned out good without the help of a strong co-actor.

it was explained that smiths character is paranoid so he showers with the curtains open and his gun hanging on the shower head.

definitely better than expected. overall i did enjoy it, but it was pretty predictable. seems like the movie was made with the sole purpose of providing lots and lots of long, gratuitous action scenes. the action wasnt bad though i must say. also, to me, the whole idea of robots learning human 'feelings' is getting to be a bit cliche. just kinda stupid.

I, Robot is actually a collection of short stories, not a full book.
