About a few years ago, I gave "I, Robot" a rather low score after a rewatch, dismissing it as yet another Hollywood-meddled project that could have been something more fulfilling for the audience instead of some action flick with a big-name star. My previous criticism still kinda applies today, but after so long, I feel like I was probably too harsh, especially after watching Cinema Win's video on all the great subtle storytelling in the movie. Will Smith also played the hell out of his role, especially in the confession scene where he revealed why he's against robots. I haven't seen Will being that fantastic in his acting since his Fresh Prince's "Why he don't want me, man?" performance.
The whole idea of a black cop being paranoid about (and profiling) a bunch of white, shiny robots who are technically sentient slaves of a large corporation didn't occur to me either until Cinema Wins pointed it out. It could be just a coincidence and not the genius filmmaking the video pointed out, but I feel like these little touches just showed what the movie could've been. For your info, this movie went through production hell for a long time, so it went through a lot of changes.
