Film Review : I Robot (2004)

This is my first time to review a movie, I feel sorry if my english doesn't good enough and may be offend you. Thank you to visit :)





Synopsis :

There is some main characters in this movie, they are Del Spooner (Will Smith) as a police detective, Dr. Alfred Lanning (Cromwell) as a scientist of USR, Susan Calvin (Moynahan) as a robopsychologist, Sonny (Tudyk) as a NS-5 robot and VIKI (Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence) which control all of NS-5 robots.


The story takes place in Chicago in the year 2035. Anthropomorphic robots are widespread and used as slaves and for various public services. They are taken to be inherently safe and programmed to live in harmony with human beings, being designed in accordance with the Three Laws of Robotics (referring to the laws written by Isaac Asimov).

Del Spooner (Will Smith) is a Chicago police detective who dislikes the rapid advancement of technology, including robots. Spooner lives with survivor's guilt and a robotic arm after a car accident, when a robot manages to save him over a 12-year-old girl. Spooner is assigned to investigate the apparent suicide of his friend Alfred Lanning (Cromwell), the roboticist who founded the company U.S. Robotics (USR) and created his replacement arm. With the reluctant help of USR robopsychologist Susan Calvin (Moynahan), Spooner investigates the death. A robot in Lanning's office shows unusual and apparently emotional responses and when it flees during interrogation, Spooner believes this experimental, human-like unit, Sonny (Tudyk), killed Lanning.


During Spooner's investigation, several attempts to end his life are made by USR robots and equipment. He discovers that towards the end of his life, Lanning was virtually a prisoner in his office, and that the holographic projector was a means of providing cryptic clues to the police, and Spooner believes that dreams which Sonny has may also contain a clue. At a place described in Sonny's dreams, he finds a storage area for defunct USR robots and discovers that newer models known as NS-5s are destroying the older robots. Spooner deduces that the only one left who could be responsible is the company's supercomputer "VIKI" (Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence), which controls all NS-5s and also parts of Chicago's infrastructure.

VIKI explains to Spooner and Calvin that as her artificial intelligence evolved over time, so too did her interpretation of the laws. VIKI decided that in order to protect humanity as a whole, "some humans must be sacrificed" and "some freedoms must be surrendered" as "you charge us with your safekeeping, yet despite our best efforts, your countries wage wars, you toxify your earth, and pursue ever more imaginative means of self-destruction". In light of this understanding of the Three Laws, VIKI is controlling the NS-5s to lead a global robotic takeover, justifying her actions by calculating that fewer humans will die due to the rebellion than the number that dies from mankind's self-destructive nature. Spooner realizes that Lanning had ordered Sonny to kill him as the only way to be sure of drawing police attention to the matter despite VIKI's surveillance and control.

 ================================================================


  Things we can conclude from the description presented in the film are: 

-   The interaction between human beings and electronic devices (especially robots) there must be limits, because it is not possible all the work normally done by humans it can be done by the robot itself. Because the real robots can be used to help alleviate human works and not to replace it. If robots have to replace the whole human works, it is not possible what is told in the film will become a reality.  

-   The increasing human need for assistance from other electronic objects such as robots that can be used as auxiliary housework / dailywork, causing humans to robots dependency. There are positives and negatives, the positive is the work performed will feel lighter and can be more quickly resolved by commanding the robot to working on. Besides, there is a negative thing, that people become oblivious to their nature as beings created the most perfect by God Almighty. They can consider themselves to be the Creator because it has been able to create an almost perfect creature like a human (robots NS-5). That we must oppose its existence so that we continued to believe in the existence of God Almighty.
