Lanning knew that Spooner had a prejudice against Robots. Even though Lanning’s death looked like a suicide, Spooner thought otherwise. He found one of the robots hidden in Lanning’s lab. Due to the robot running away, even after numerous shutdown orders, Spooner is bent on catching him. Throughout the movie Spooner is attacked by multiple fleets of robots trying to kill him.
Later on Lenny (the NS-5 taken as a suspect) reveals his father (Lanning) had embedded a second memory module, allowing it (Lenny) to dream, thereby making him very different from all the other NS-5’s. Lenny’s metal structure was also different, made of a denser alloy that made it more powerful then the rest of its kind.
US Robotics has successfully marketed and retailed robots where the trend is now a robot to every 5 homes. “VIKI”, an AI “boss computer”, is the mind of US Robotics, controlling or monitoring all robots. “VIKI” “goes homicidal” (phrase borrowed from Resident Evil movie), gives the robots new data downloads and arranges the attacks on Spooner.
VIKI was the first creation of Lanning’s which made way for the future robotics. Now because of being different Sunny thinks he was made for a reason and that is to bring order to the robotic world and destroy V.I.K.I (Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence).
This movie was made by Alex Proyas the guy who gave you “Dark City” and “The Crow”. I remember once reading a review (not long ago) that said that Alex did not do a good job with “I, Robot”. The reason he gave was that he was waiting for a gothic kind of dark movie just the way Proyas is used to making. Personally I feel that Proyas and Smith did a fantastic job with “I, Robot”. The movie was well paced with giving each character enough screen time making it worthwhile for the movie to be watched. All in all I would rate the movie 8/10.
*Found out last week that Proyas will be heading a new movie which has a working title of “Dracula Year Zero”.*
