I, Robot
In 2035, where robots are commonplace and abide by the three laws of robotics, a technophobic cop investigates an apparent suicide. Suspecting that a robot may be responsible for the death, his investigation leads him to believe that humanity may be in danger.

Sonny attacks Spooner and Calvin in the laboratory
Lieutenant Bergin removes Spooner from active duty
The film drops significantly when it relies on tired cop clichés around the midpoint, then recovers strongly as the robot uprising and VIKI's plan unfold.
I, Robot starts strong with an intriguing mystery and exceptional robot character work, particularly Sonny's introduction. The film stumbles in its middle act with formulaic plot developments but recovers with impressive large-scale action and a satisfying resolution that honors both blockbuster expectations and Asimov's philosophical themes. Critics consistently praised the visual effects and Will Smith's performance while noting the script's occasional simplicity.
