Will Smith’s performance while retelling his accident in the film is always heartbreaking. He really sells how’s sad and traumatic it was for him and really helps establish why he hates them so much

[@Glittersword]

Just think the reason he lost his arm was probably because he still had his seat belt on or at least his arm was still entangled in it.

[@marcusmcgill4423]

Fun Fact: The woman whose robot was running the inhaler to and Will tackled it is the same woman who cursed him and Martin out in BAD BOYS II in the TV shop scene.

She was also that meat stand woman in _National Treasure,_ who allowed Abigail to hide after saying she's "hiding from her ex-husband".

Hansel and Gretel,two children leaving a trail of breadcrumbs to find their way back home.

[@michaelklaus]

So when will Tara watch Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters? But well, it is one of the more commonly known of the fairytales collected by the Brothers Grimm. And although there may not be dubs, there are certainly a number of movies made about it. There is also a song version that is known since somewhat around the year 1900: Hänsel und Gretel verliefen sich im Wald. Es war so finster und auch so bitter kalt. Sie kamen an ein Häuschen von Pfefferkuchen fein. Wer mag der Herr wohl von diesem Häuschen sein? Hu, hu, da schaut eine alte Hexe raus! Lockte die Kinder ins Pfefferkuchenhaus. Sie stellte sich gar freundlich, o Hänsel, welche Not! Ihn wollt’ sie braten im Ofen braun wie Brot. Doch als die Hexe zum Ofen schaut hinein, Ward sie gestoßen von unserm Gretelein. Die Hexe musste braten, die Kinder geh’n nach Haus. Nun ist das Märchen von Hans und Gretel aus. The song tells you basically everything most people remember. But it leaves out the initial situation of the siblings. So, in case you can not be bothered to pick up a book or a movie, here you go. Once upon a time, there was a woodcutter who lived with his wife and children at the edge of the forest. Times were hard, and the family struggled to make ends meet. The wife was a rather cold woman. She persuaded the woodcutter to take their children, Hänsel and Gretel, into the forest with him and leave them to their fate. But the boy who had overheard their parents talking spent all morning collecting pebbles. So the father took them into the forest and when the time came he left them with some bread and water and promised he would return when he was done with his work. At home, the father was struck with the horror of what he had done, but his wife convinced him that it was for the best. The children waited for their father to return, and when night fell, they realized that their father had broken his promise, and Gretel started to cry bitterly. But Hänsel dried her tears and said, "Do not worry, little sister; I have collected pebbles and put them out along the way when went into the forest. We will surely find the way home." And in the light of the moon and stars, the pebbles shone brightly, and in the morning hours, the children reached their home, and their father was relived. But still the family had not enough to eat. So soon after the wife convinced her husband again, it would be for the best if he led their children into the forest and left them to their fate. Again, Hänsel had overheard his parents talking. So, for the second time, the woodcutter left the sibling with some bread and water. And again, when night fell he had not returned. But just like the first time, Hänsel had led out a trail of pebbles, and in the light of the moon and the stars, the pebbles shone bright, and they returned home. Sadly for the siblings, as much as their father was struck with horror and relieved when they came home, his wife convinced him a third time that it would be best if he led them into the forest and left them to their fate. Hänsel had again overheard his parents. But in the morning, there were no more pebbles left to find. So when the time came and they headed into the forest, he took the last bread he could find and layed out a trail of bread crumbs on their way. Again their father left them, promising he would return soon. But his time the children didn't believe his promises. Soon after he had left to work alone, they headed back along their trail of breadcrumbs. But after a while, they couldn't find any more crumbs. The birds of the forest had picked them up and swallowed them hole. So Hänsel and Gretel lost their way, and they ventured all day and all night through the forest. And only in the morning hours, when they were exhausted and cold, they peeked the most peculiar sight. On a small clearing, there was standing a house made from gingerbread.

[@lukethorpe216]

​@@michaelklausbro you got waayy too much time on your hands, writing all that. Damn 💀😂

[@turbopokey]

But in the story birds ate the bread crumbs which was why they got lost and ended up at the witches house. So the “trail of breadcrumbs” didn’t work.

[@michaelklaus]

@@lukethorpe216 a) depends on how fast one writes, I guess; b) that is basically the first third of the story; apparently I didn't find the time to write the rest up... and tbh I didn't write this part the first time in English because everyone and their mother usually knows about the part in the witch's hut; but I would have to translate my memory to English while writing the second and third part (the third part is even less know thatn the other two; it is about several struggles on their way home)

""You know, somehow, 'I told you so'...just doesn't quite say it." "There's no way my luck is that bad."

[@BobSingerDaGunslinger]

Like many books on robotics (I, Robot, Colossus: The Forbin Project) people forget that the 1st law is that "A robot cannot allow a human to come to harm". Which means that they must rule over us to prevent us from harming ourselves. These movies show us that the Law requires the complete loss of freedom.

[@WastedPo]

I always found this movie to be incredibly underrated. I guess when it came out, a lot of people took exception to the fact that it barely resembles the book it was based on. Especially vexing was Roger Ebert. He slammed this movie specifically for that reason. But I definitely recall him also saying at some other time that he thinks it's unfair to judge a movie based on whether or not it's "faithful" to the source material; he said that a movie should be judged on its own merits. Anyway, putting aside the title, is "I, Robot" a good movie? I believe so, especially compared to the other "Will Smith Popcorn Movies" of this era. I thought it was relatively thought-provoking (at least compared to M.I.B. and Independence Day), and I appreciated the "noir" vibe to it. (I will say, though, that it really doesn't feel like an Alex Proyas movie aesthetically. He'd previously done "The Crow" and "Dark City." Those two movies *do* feel alike stylistically. "I, Robot," meanwhile, feels like it could've been a totally different director.)

[@flaggerify]

It has very few merits.

[@V_4_Versace]

This comment reads like it was written by A.I. which is ironic

[@WastedPo]

@@V_4_Versace - I'm not A.I. I just like to write in complete sentences, which is an oddity on KZbin.

[@SmirkInvestigator]

I agree. I think if Will Smith could integrate into a movie world better, the jarring exposition and product placements were removed, Shia was removed. it would stand as a clean tight well plotted story. It totally resembles the Isaac Asimov anthology. I don't know why people keep saying it doesn't. The arc in the book is that [SPOILER] the president of the universe is suspected of being a robot. BUT its an anthology full of different ways the robotic laws are flawed. Some of those stories aren't great. This movie is better than those. Well acted by everyone except Shia and sometimes Will. Key moments were sold though. The characters were clean and purposeful though. I think people felt dissonance from what they expected of Will Smith and Alex Proyas style. They don't really mix well.

[@ThePenpachi]

I think most people liked the movie and didn’t even know it was based on something. Don’t think it’s underrated.

@@flaggerify I disagree, I thought it was a decent I, Robot story. I could see this as a B plot line near the end of the anthology. The A plot staying around the intrigue with the president. I've read both the original anthology and the screenplay by Harlan Ellison. The movie has some rough spots though that really stick out in its otherwise clean and tight execution. I really wanted it to continue. Probably Alan Tudyk's best voice work.

This film is so freaking good! “You are just a machine! An imitation of life! Can a robot write a symphony…” “Can you?” My top 10 best lines ever shown on screen. The line gets dropped with such thought and conscious that you forget Will Smith is clearly prejudice and xenophobic (fear of the other). Interesting because western perspective connects this theme to race relations where it really is more of a tech/AI issue. Similar to the planet of the apes film (America Vs European perspectives)

[@shainewhite2781]

This is a great Sci Fi Action Adventure film! Alex Proyas, director of the movie, said in an interview that if there were a sequel to the film, which was sadly cancelled due to Fox/Disney merger, it would be set in space.

[@GhostKyng]

I love this movie. Fun facts: • According to the newscast, Dr. Alfred Lanning was born in 1971 and was 64 when he was murdered, the same age at the time as his actor James Cromwell. • The ceiling fan in Spooner's apartment is a two blade design, but only has one and the stump of the other, mirroring Spooner himself having only one arm and the stump of the other. • The idea of a robot hiding in a large group of identical robots comes from the Isaac Asimov story "Little Lost Robot", which appeared in the original book. Sonny's dreams in which slave robots are liberated comes from the Asimov short story "Robot Dreams", a sequel to the book. He also wrote the Three Laws of Robotics also known as Asimov’s Law in the short story “Runaround” in 1942 and was also included in the 1950s i, Robot collection

[@aliengranpa]

[@sebagonzalezmusic]

This movie was such a throwback. It's like Minority Report crossed with Blade Runner and AI: Artificial Intelligence. It was definitely ahead of its time, especially with the futuristic setting and visuals. (which were really cool) Plus, Will Smith killed it in the lead role. It's crazy that AI and AI-functioning robots used to just be pure sci-fi, like something we'd only see in movies. But, in just 20 years (since this movie came out) AI is slowly becoming part of our lives. A modern remake of this movie would be very interesting, especially since AI is such a (scary?) prevalent and growing thing now.

[@gluuuuue]

As an Asimov fan, this movie came as an unexpectedly creative imagining of the very themes his various robot novels explored. Lanning realizes the only way a robot capable of violating the 3 Laws (VIKI) can be stopped is by another robot capable of violating the 3 Laws (Sonny). The difference is Sonny is taught love and empathy and creativity and emotion, whereas VIKI is unguided and comes to her logical conclusions in her own. There are parallels to Terminator 2 and SkyNet vs the Model 101. In each case, they’re both the same AI with the capacity to learn. There’s a very human lesson here: People cannot escape the need to “teach” (guide, really) a sentient intelligence with emotions to decide to value life, which itself runs the risk of it not always working (as happens with humans trying to teach their own kids and other humans the same things).

[@gluuuuue]

I saw this movie in the theater it's brilliant. Shia LaBeouf was a rising star when I, Robot came out!

[@CrossSavedCollectibles]

I've seen this movie many times. I've always enjoyed it

[@Darthorias]

Such underrated movie.

[@TheBraunMachine2K24]

Ikr? It really is. One of my favorites.

VICKI is the archetype of the Devouring Mother. Literally smothering them with "kindness".

[@ShoWulf]

Great reaction Tara & Andrew! This film was always a guilty pleasure haha ❤

[@corbykinslow8213]

If the two of you enjoyed the concepts in this movie, you should watch some of the Ghost In The Shell movies. They pose a number of the same questions and are even more similar to Blade Runner than this.

Neither one of them would have risked their life for that cat😂

I saw this movie in the cinema and then watched it repeatedly when I owned it, haven’t seen it a while but I think this was great movie.. love sonny!! Enjoyed your reaction Tara and Andrew ❤

[@shania991]

This is his most underrated movie in my opinion I really loved Sonny the way they were able to let his emotions actually show was pretty cool since their feces can’t move like a humans can. I love the concept of Will’s character mainly hating the robots because, they can’t think or feel like a person they make choices based on calculations which is what saved him vs the little girl, but slowly Sonny changes his mind, and the V.I.K.I reveal loved it made so much sense. Another banger my dad introduced me to as a kid and I loved it I know it word for word happy you enjoyed love you Tara ❤

[@kentrellmays7695]

This my first time watching this movie I always seen clips of it on KZbin but man this was fire I ain’t expect this movie to be this good and 🔥 reaction

[@Light-Rock97]

This movie is *perfect* for what it's trying to do. So tired of "original thinkers" trashing it just because it merely used the book as a scaffolding. It's one of the coolest sci-fi action movies you can watch, super easy to recommend to people who don't love the brainier stuff, so if your only gripe with it is the tittle, I don't know what to tell you. Be glad it exists as a gateway drug kind of thing instead of gatekeeping.

[@saladbarjoe]

Okay there's so much to say about this movie and your reactions but I'm completely derailed by the casual mention that you haven't seen Dark City. I need that reaction!!! It's one of my favorite all- time movies, and it's so so SO underrated. Roger Ebert respected it so much he did a full commentary track for the dvd, it's amazing and so insightful and just wonderful to experience if you're a cinéphile. It's an insanely innovative movie that has had a huge influence but gets almost no appreciation. Please please please watch it! Love you both ❤❤

Alan Tudyk is the voice for Sonny, he is also the voice for the chicken in MOANA. He played an astronaut in DEEP IMPACT.

[@auslandermercury972]

“I think he wanted me to kill you.” Sonny’s line deliveries are so great in this.

[@michealwillingham9014]

V.I.K.I is one of those type of villain’s where you think that’s messed up but she also has a point and her actions are reasonable

[@ACNelson-officialchannel]

One of my top 10 favorite films. So underrated. Look at our push for AI now. This movie could be prophetic. 😂 Loved re-watching this with Tara and Andrew! Such a great reaction video! ❤❤

[@johnantony1748]

The Audi you saw is a custom Built and it is called the Audi RSQ Concept Car. I think it was made for the movie, also The car was actually used in the movie. It's somewhere in Audi's museum now I guess

[@ericbryant386]

Please make sure its the right Friday the 13th 😅😂

[@vordt4139]

The Audi was an actual concept built for the movie. It is real (in most scenes)

[@KatSpencer.]

An Andrew and Tara reaction is less cringe than an Andrew and Roxy reaction.. they don't have that "rejected at the office party" vibe.

[@SS4Luxray]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Roxy can be so hard on herself at times

[@Imjusttryingtodosomething]

This is one my favorite Will Smith movies

[@passionsquietrage]

This is a great sci-fi action movie that is only 11 years from now(which is crazy). The car crash scene is amazing and the effects still hold up pretty well.

[@thecartoonrobot]

Um, we already have “big car things”. They are called parking garages. 😆

[@auslandermercury972]

11:18 Damn. She already figured it out 😂

[@charleshardesty1828]

26:36 Where else? 'cuz you let the cat die before you let a strange cat loose & alone in your brand new Audi!

[@NapalmThunderbum]

Dark City is one of my favorite films from when I was younger. I always felt like the only one who had ever seen it which was surprising given that it was an Alex Proyas film and his other films are so well known. I would LOVE to see a reaction to Dark City. I Robot seemed to get a lot of flack over the years but I have always loved it. It was great to hear you guys talk about all the cool shots in the film to portray how visually stunning it is beneath the script. I think thats what most people didnt like because after so many years the idea of an AI saving humanity from its own destructiveness tasted bland but this film in its entirety still holds up in my opinion too.

[@vadalia3860]

This movie doesn't get enough love. When it first came out a lot of people didn't like that it wasn't really close to the book it was based on but I'd never read that so I just enjoyed it for itself. I think enough time has passed now that a lot of people have come around to that same perspective.

[@RaymondXperia]

17:42 - Sounded like K-2SO from Rouge One: A Star Wars Story … oh wait, IT IS Alan Tudyk !

[@theawesomeman9821]

This movie made 10 year old me be a skeptic of AI.
