“I,Robot”
I didn’t blog yesterday because I wasn’t at home. My office had blocked the use of blogger so, I’m kinda have to blog from home now.
So, where did I go last night ? I went to watch “I,Robot”. Not bad… a few comments though (warning- I don’t give a shit about letting out spoilers … such as Will Smith is a 1/4 robot…, so, fucking read at your own discretion..):
- the computer animated graphics aren’t really good. The robots ran like wimps and doesn’t really look scary. I think they got to spend more time rendering, instead of rushing for datelines. Maybe lack of funds…
- the new NS-5 robot looks shitty. Why the human eyes and face ? It just doesn’t make sense. If we ever wanted our robots to look like human, well, we could have hired Filipino maids or Bangladeshi’s. Much cheaper. (side note: the NS-5 robot also uncannily resembled our Penang’s chief minister’s face)
- also noticed NS-5 robots could climb walls, summersault, kick asses, basically - able to perform any stunts that mimicks Jet Li or Jackie Chan - and it’s suppose to be a domestic helper. Kinda hard to swallow, isn’t it ?
- alright, let’s assume the intelligent software boss (VIKI) purposely created NS-5 model to have good agility and martial arts capable. But fuck, not bulletproof. Wouldn’t it be more practical to just assemble them in Kevlar materials to make them more formidable ? And that thing’s suppose to be intelligent …
- the movie also mentioned of a solution of microscopic robots that used to destroy robotic system or something, forgot what it’s called. The boss actually kept this solution in the same building with her (yes, the boss’ a female artificial intelligent character). Knowing that this could be dangerous … wouldn’t it be wise to just instruct one of her robotic drones to just scrap that few bottles of solution ? Cast into an ocean, feed it to a dog or something … it’s still illogical to keep something that was meant to destroy your own existence in close proximity.
Alright, the storyline’s not bad. Some twist to it. Not just any cheesy plot to destroy the world and some dude prevented it with his heroic one-man-army attitude.
If there’s any rating from me, this one deserves a 3 out of 5 - just because I liked the Audi car…
