I, Robot

Becky and I went to Chunky’s last night to see I, Robot - and of course to have dinner.

The best performance in the movie, I felt, was by Alan Tudyk in the role of Sonny, the moody, Three-Laws-Defying robot. We were pleasantly surprised to see Even Stevens’ Shia LaBeouf, albeit in a minor role. Will Smith had a few good one-liners here and there as the technophobic, anachronistic Detective Spooner. Overall it was an enjoyable movie with some good action sequences and special effects that at times drew attention away from the more weighty themes.

Now I want to go and re-read all of my Asimov.
