| Blunt ReviewEmily BluntI, Robot is a slice of sci-fi heaven with a hearty side of bewitching visual euphoria. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineBest of all, this is a story that's actually about something. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardThe perfect sci-fi movie for a post-9/11 world, in that it tells us we're afraid of threats hiding in plain sight. |
| FilmFocusJoe UtichiFar from perfect, but it's entertaining, well-executed and definately worth a look. |
| Supercala.comJohn VenableRobots, explosions, gunplay, action, Will Smith...hmmm, it must be July. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis 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. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonFabulous 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. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottThe film goes where you expect, with the rather programmed feel of a 'classic' revisited with both money and zeal. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanA summer action movie that has a brain and doesn't let it atrophy? Fan me, I'm fainting! |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesA thinking person's action picture ... it is definitely one of this summer's better blockbusters. |
