this film be the culmination of everything that be bad about modern film . unnecessary slow motion and unnecessary flipping or jumping or somersault and unnecessary character and unnecessary dialogue . basically unnecessity . ( be that a word . well and it just be invent by i and robot . ) what happen to practicality . ( i. e. the car garage and the skin spray ) the only tool that show a combination of futuristic and realistic function be the card swipe at the coffee shop . what happen to show respect for woman . ( i. e. smith character do nothing but degrade the doctor for the good part of the film and and yet she still want him . where be the tension . i will tell you where and good look and not admiration or common ground ) what happen to a detective that detect . smith do nothing but sit around and feel sorry for himself and complain to other people and and when they say something that spark a thought he be off . this be such a lame way to get the story from point b c d etc . it be ok once and but not several time in a row . ( speak of several time in a row and what be the i be snore and not listen to you joke . twice in one scene . ) what happen to the small part in a movie be somewhat meaningful and not just a tool to promote rescue scene . shia labeouf ( the kid ) be in the movie for a total of two scene and we know that a he degrade woman and and b he know smith . so of course we should care about him and whether or not he come to harm and what happen to hero . let just forget that there be people and woman and child everywhere get attack by robot and selfishly save the only person withing my view that i have an acquaintance with . and why do he have to ramp his bike through the air and show off and while the doctor be somehow able to reach the same distance in a matter of second on foot . do not get me wrong and i be all for spectacle . but i be also all for a shred of realism and meaning . i have to say i have never laugh quite so hard at a film in a long time . so thanks alex . i pray for the swing of the social pendulum back to simpler technique and simpler story and simpler everything else in film . but mainly simple technique . big budget action film represent you so have to die .
