Washington Post: Desson Thomson
Fabulous mental escape. It's fun and playful, rather than dark and foreboding. And there doesn't seem to be an original cyber-bone in the movie's body. But it's put together in a fabulous package.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
This is a movie to restore the faith of those who had given up on science fiction after "The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions." By adeptly combining action and ideas, it proves that Hollywood can still produce astonishing entertainment.Read Full Review »

Washington Post: Ann Hornaday
Smith makes it look easy, but underneath the physical high jinks and slick veneer of I, Robot lies a performance of real discipline and intelligence.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
For its first two acts this flashy vehicle is an anodized titanium streamline baby. Then comes a robot rumble that brings the action to a crashing halt.Read Full Review »

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
A routine Will Smith cop-on-the-hunt thriller at heart, I, Robot lacks imaginative excitement.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Dana Stevens
Lacks both the intellectual rigor and the soulful sublimity of "A.I.," but it nonetheless allows some genuine ideas and emotions to pop up amid the noise and clutter.Read Full Review »

Time: Richard Corliss
In the end, I, Robot is just an assembly-line product of a not very advanced model.Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
The plot is simple-minded and disappointing, and the chase and action scenes are pretty much routine for movies in the sci-fi CGI genre. The robots never seem to have the heft and weight of actual metallic machines, and make boring villains.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Ty Burr
A stylish, watchable, very familiar future-cop action thriller. What was once original is now almost completely derivative.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
I, Robot strives to be so many things that it ultimately falls away to nothing, a heap of expensive metal parts.Read Full Review »
