I Robot

It took a while (been busy) but finally made it out to see I Robot. Excellent excellent film. It is a comment on the quality of Computer Graphics these days that we can now have CG characters act on screen. Golum was the first CG character to do this and now, Sonny (one of the Robots) is another. CG characters used to either fly about so fast that you really didn't catch the visual discrepancies (unless you got the DVD and examined the action sequences frame by frame) or they just stood there and looked really sleek and cool and impressive. Now, they are fully interacting with their human counterparts both physically and emotionally. Good stuff - if you have not seen this film, check it out in a theater -- it uses the large screen very well... Posted by DaveH at August 12, 2004 10:36 PM
