I saw the new movie I,Robot last night and am happy to say it far exceeded my expectations.
It is based on a book by Isaac Asimov about the world in 2040 or so when robots do all our manual work for us. The robots are hard programmed with the "Three Laws of Robotics."
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Imagine the suprise then when one of the robots apparently murders a person - and the movie then follows the investigations of Will Smith, a cop, trying to solve the mystery.
Good special effects but some really thought provoking themes too. Definitely to be recommended...
