I ROBOT | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

"Why would they want to demo the house?" That, Cassie, is the right question.

"That was somebody's baby. 11% is more than enough..." That was some serious acting.

"That was somebody's baby. 11% is more than enough" I get choked up every time I hear that line.

Alan Tudyk, one of the most underrated actor today. 90% of people I say his name to can't even recall his face and yet, he is amazing...

Thank you for acknowledging the crime he committed against that pie. That scene never sat right with me.

Sonny was voiced by Alan Tudyk. Wash from Firefly, he was in A Knights Tale and a whole lot more!

i love how he doubted the entire movie but he still had that shot gun underneath his desk, just in case 🤣 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1663">27:43</a>

The whole closing her eyes while shooting makes me think of my dad. My family is just country folk. I was born in the 60’s, one of eight kids and we were all raised around guns. One of the ‘Rules’ my father taught us was… “If you’re afraid of guns, don’t carry or own one. A gun won’t make you brave, it’ll just make you dangerous...because you’ll more than likely close your eyes while shooting.” 😄

The series of books by Isaac Asimov were started in the 1950's, and were even more extreme than the movie. A human-looking robot becomes president of the world. Asimov correctly predicted many things concerning technology in the future including the internet, cell phones, AI and many many more. He was not only a great author, but also a professor and scientist.

Detective Spooner: (sneezes) I'm sorry I'm allergic to bull****. 😆😆😆

I love this movie! I saw it in the theater when it came out. The biggest laugh was when Will's character said, "I'm sorry, I'm allergic to bullsh*t." Great reaction!

(<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="873">14:33</a>) *"Why would they wanna demo(lish) the house?"* Ah, Cassie asking the real question here. It doesn't make any sense, since the house is still fully equipped and furnished. When the robot acts, it's <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="480">8:00</a>PM. The original demolishing time was set to <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="480">8:00</a>AM. So, even if the demoltion would have taken place at the original time, there would have been no time anymore, to empty the house.

I re-watched this movie again recently, and I am just so impressed how well the futuristic design of everything holds up. Despite being 20 years old on the design, looks like something you’d see if this movie were made today and that’s just really impressive to me

People gave this movie a lot of grief at the time, but I think it does a pretty good job of exploring the Three Laws in the context of a big-budget Hollywood movie.

This movie is 20 years old. What's that woosh I hear? The sound of time flying.

A movie about Robot Revolution that could spell the end of mankind. Cassie. "I am very concerned about how he just ripped into that pie." That's why this channel is the best on RU-vid. Period.

Isaac Asimov's wrote the three laws of robotics. 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

You know, when Cassie talks about celebrities, it still blows my mind that she has literally MET Tom Cruise

Alex Proyas also directed "The Crow" and "Dark City". This movie is based on Isaac Asimov´s book "I, Robot", he created the 3 laws. Worth reading. Also his "Foundation" book series. You may add to your AI movies list "Bicentennial Man", "AI Artificial Intelligence", "The Matrix", or "Ex Machina", to name a few.

I love I, Robot. It was my favorite movie as a child, and what inspired me to become an engineer to create technologies for the future. I lost respect for Will Smith after The Slappening 😂 But this movie still has a place in my heart.

The author, Isaac Asimov, created two universes. One with robots ( I, Robot and his robot series ) and one without ( The Foundation Series ).

@Cassie, the actor who plays the doctor who committed suicide is James Cromwell. In a Star Trek movie you might see in the future he also plays Dr. Zefram Cochrane, an Earth scientist from Montana who will, in the year 2063, invent the warp drive which will make space travel between the stars possible. 🙂

I absolutely love I-Robot it's one of my favourite sci-fi childhood movies, it's actually got some pretty good CGI for back then and it's gave me so many chills when watching it, (most of the thanks go to the absolutely fantastic sound design and soundtrack)

"One guy cannot have this much power." You're *right* - remember that in the years to come.

Dr Calvin is played by Bridget Moynahan, whom also plays John Wick's Wife.

I lived at the time 1block from filming locations for this movie. Everyone in my neighborhood recieved notifications on our doors/mail to inform us when they would be filming parts of the movie down the street from me.This was in Surrey BC Canada.

VIKI is essentially TRON's Master Control Program version 2.0. Also, Bicentennial Man starring Robin Williams is another movie adapted from Isaac Asimov's books.

This film was directed by Alex Proyas. He also did 'Dark City', "The Crow', and several other films. As well as numerous music videos and short films. He has often played with the themes of memory, experience, identity, and humanity. So, this story was, in some ways, right up his alley.

Isaac Asimov was one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time, one of his projects was a series of short stories about robots, he published several, the first in the series was I, Robot in 1950, then, in 1964, it was made into an episode of The Outer Limits (a show like The Twilight Zone), and again in 1994 when The Outer Limits got a reboot. Robin Williams made a movie called Bicentennial Man which was loosely based on the book, and finally Will Smith's version. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I remember reading the first book (I, Robot) back in the early 70's, I also enjoyed H.G.Wells, Edgar Allen Poe, Ray Bradbury, Gene Roddenberry, to name a few. Spend the day at a library sometime and check out some of their works, I'm sure you'll enjoy them as well. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️

Sonny was voiced by Alan Tudyk, who also voiced K2SO in Rogue One, and he also played the pirate in Dodgeball.

As a budding Trekkie, you may eventually discover that James Cromwell is also an important character in Trek. He played a couple of roles, including one in the best of the Trek movies, Zephram Cochrane, the inventor of the Warp Drive.

Will Smith: "Can a robot write a symphony, or create a beautiful masterpiece?" Sonny: "Can you?" I can't even figure out where to start with the questions this exchange brings up in my head.

The voice of Sunny is Alan Tudyck who played the pilot Wash in Serenity / Firefly. As I recall you really loved his character in that movie.

I do like the fact that the plot of the movie is based on the fact that the Three Laws of Robotics compel the robots to control us for our safety. I've seen people claim they would work as advertised and that's just not true.

"What if I'm right?" "Well, then I guess we're gonna miss the good old days." "What good old days?" "When people were killed by other people."

"Who is the voice of Sonny?" A single tear trails down Wash's cheek... But I imagine you felt the familiarity, which sparked the question. you're awesome

One thing I always liked about the book is the character of Mike Donovan. I happened to read it for the first time around the early to mid 80s, which is also the time V (the epic TV movies) came out with Mike Donovan being the hero (the characters are nothing alike aside from the name) I also have the Department for the Blind unabridged audiobook of I Robot from the late 70s (in my small town in Canada they were getting rid of their cassette audiobooks and I scooped it up) I love the readers faux Irish accent for Mike!

I have always loved this movie. My favorite with Will Smith. Now I would think you would have recognized the voice of Sonny, since you just heard it come out of another one of your favorite robots, K-2SO from Rogue One. The amazing Alan Tudyk did the voice for both. He is brilliant. As Wash in Firefly, Wat in a Knights Tale, Tucker in Tucker and Dale vs Evil, and now stars in the awesome show Resident Alien. He has also done the voice of so many great characters in film and animation. Look him up to learn more.

Yo, your reactions are hilarious. When the robot lied and said the call was a wrong number. When sonny winked at will. The demo of the house. Lol 😅

When you look back on this and realize the little things like how Del "rips" into an ENTIRE fucking pie each day for the calories to fuel his cyborg arm (which is why he only exercises one arm each morning as well) and Del likely litters his entire apartment with (and drives vehicles from) the past (sort-of present for us) in order to minimize reminders (such as the robots he hates) of how he's technically somewhat like them. For the record, I'd like to point out that in real life, a robot has already killed people, many, in fact. Though none directly or "with intent". The first fatal robotic factory accident occurred over 30 years ago in the 80s.

OMG two days ago I was thinking about this movie and how nobody on RU-vid reacts to it and how I wish somebody would actually react to it....did I manifest this or what?? I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Thank you for reacting to it, you made my day ❤

The movie takes its title from a series of short stories by Isaac Asimov - the collection titled "I, Robot" But the story of the movie more closely aligns (although even then, only vaguely) with the Elijah Baley trilogy of novels (also written by Asimov's, which build upon the short stories' premise which introduce the character of Susan Calvin): The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, and The Robots of Dawn. They are very much worth reading.

I loved the Dodgeball reference…”holy freaking A Cotton” 😂

Sonny isn't the only robot that Alan Tudyk has voiced.

Some of the best Will Smith movies...Bad Boys, Seven Pounds, The Pursuit of Happyness, Men in Black, Enemy of the State, and Hancock. Honestly, you would love them all! Some truly incredible movies

One of the best situational analyses' ever. "maybe we should grab a couple tubes to be sure. Vicki's very big......And glowy" LMAO! My high school had a class specifically based on one of Isaac Asimov's book series. The choices were Science fiction, a deep dive into Isaac Asimov's book series, or Modern Myth, a deep dive into J.R.R. Tolkiens Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Trilogy and a dip into the Silmarillion. I chose Modern Myth which brought me to your channel by way of your Lord of the Rings trilogy reaction. I haven't missed many since. You seem to have grown much more willing to step out of your comfort zone and we love to see you dragging your sister along with you. The two of you watching scary movies together is priceless. Keep up the great work.

Sonny was voiced by Alan Tudyk. You may remember him as K-2SO (the sassy droid) from Rogue One, and as Wash (the blond pilot married to Zoe) from Firefly. He was also the guy who thought he was a pirate in Dodgeball. He delivered the oft-quoted line "curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

The Audi RSQ is my all time favorite car ever!! Spooner telling Calvin about Sarah still shreds my heart. I love your reaction when you saw Sonny wink.

The scientist (Alfred Lanning) in this movie was also the police chief in The Green Mile whose wife had the brain tumor. Fun Fact: The actress who played the female doctor, Susan Calvin, is Bridget Moynahan, Tom Brady's first baby mama.

I worked for 25 years in a half scale skyscraper identical to the WTC but only 51 stories. The exterior walls were almost all glass. Every 10th or so window had a silver, oval sticker about 2 inches long and half an inch wide indicating that it was a "pop out window" and could be removed fairly easily for rescue purposes. A lawyer giving a tour to college students was not aware of this and one of the students asked him how the glass could be used as a part of the building's loadbearing. The lswyer pipes up, "it's very strong and then slams it a couple of times with all his weight and said, "See?" He bodyslammed it again and to the horror of the students the popout window did what it was designed to do and popped out and the lawyer went sailing out right behind it!

Oh she LOVED that wink! 😆

I think you'd really like Seven Pounds with Will Smith. Another movie I think you'd enjoy is Big Trouble In Little China with Kurt Russell & Kim Cattrall. It has all the humor, action, mysticism, & love story you need in one movie.

There is something endearing about hearing you talk sci-fi talk and technical mumbo-jumbo 😅. It reminds me why I fell in love with this genre and fantasy overall! Thanks for bringing some joy and light-heartedness to these fun films!

I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I'd read a big chunk of Asimov's work long before I could drive. Foundation was probably my favorite book (I know it was a collection, lol) of all time, Caves of Steel was up there too, and I read many (most) of his anthologies, including I, Robot (comment your favorite below, The Last Question, or Nightfall🤓). I say all that to underscore that I'm a HUGE Asimov fan. I know that some other fans don't like the movie. Some say it has nothing to do with his work, (other than the title, Dr. Susan Calvin, positronic brains, USR, The Three Laws, and a few other ideas) and they seem offended that it's associated with him. I get that, but I personally see it as an homage that's so darned enjoyable that I'll still stop and watch it anytime I see it on TV. GREAT reaction! Thanks for watching this with us!!

I enjoy watching her react so much cause of how innocent she is. Her watching all my favorite action movies and be disturbed is entertaining 😂

i kinda get why this movie gets flack but i love it. it has a special place in my heart as it was one of the only DvDs my siblings and i had when we moved from one state to another. my sister and i watched it a lot

In the beginning part where Spooner and the Dr went to where all the other robots are ( with the domes ) that is a septic waste refinery ( this was mostly filmed in Vancouver B.C, ) the part where the Dr's House was demolished before it was supposed to, that house is like a 10 min walk from my house, its now used as a community place for an apartment complex, the house was built in the late 1800's and was the former home of Benjamin Tingley Rogers or Rodgers Sugar, this movie was the last thing filmed before they renovated it

There's actually a book that's called I,Robot by Isaac Asimov, but it wasn't anything like the movie. The book of a collection of stories about robots and how they function in human society. But I think that this movie did bring up some of the ideas and themes that Asimov wrote about in his robot stories like The Three Laws of Robotics, and that one day, robots might one day evolve to the point that they could gain free will of their own. If you're interested Cassie, I highly recommend it!

I saw your description of the improvise overlay (good idea) and forgot about it once the video started. Im watching it and im like "man this is weird, I cant see the top right... I dont remember this in the movie." Then I realized what it was and I laughed out loud. I saw this movie once in theaters and I have no memory of it so Im glad you picked this one. Since you saw the movie Glory, another great Civil War movie would be Gettysburg. Its a long movie but unlike most movies, it does an amazing job showing it is a war made up of people. The movie doesnt have villains, it has people.

Asimov was a great scifi writer. I enjoyed a bunch of his books and stories when I was a kid. They're hesitant to make the android look more "human" because of a phenomenon called the uncanny valley. You can research it for yourself.

"His face, I don't like it." Cassie, that's roboticist.

Sonny is Alan Tudyk, one of today's most prolific voice actors. Since 2010, he's spoken fot characters in Disney animated films like "Wreck-It Ralph"(and it sequel), "Frozen I & II", "Big Hero 6", "Zootopia", "Moana", "Raya And The Last Dragon", "Encanto", and "Wish".

That story about Sarah has me in tears every time

I, Robot is a framework collection made up of science fiction short stories by American writer Isaac Asimov 1950s. Amazing foresight and very logical in his writing. Which is why they still hold up today, concepts that transcend any specific technology. Major spoiler, you find out later in his other stories the robots advanced so far they went out into the universe and killed all the aliens to protect the humans. While still overseeing human development from the shadows.

If you want the perfect follow up to this movie - though it wasn't a sequel and not intended to be, the THEMES are similar - and it's both happy, uplifting, and incredibly bittersweet - - BICENTENNIAL MAN - With Robin Williams Trust me. Bring your sister - and two boxes of tissues. You'll need them.

"I, too, have a distrust of robots..." 😂🤣☠ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="803">13:23</a>

Everyone talking about Alan Tudyk as Sonny and some of his other roles, yet nobody mentioned his best.... as Hei Hei in Moana. Best dang chicken performance ever.

For another sci-fi, future tale with robots (and some pretty incredible cinematography), check out A.I. Artificial Intelligence, starring Haley Joel Osment and Jude Law.

I like the way you ended this one P I B. It's always kind of fun when you go off on tangents. Some stream of consciousness stuff is perfect for the channel IMO.

"Sonny" was played by Alan Tudyk, (Voice and facial/body motion capture), the actor who played Wash on Firefly.

A great book to read that was futuristic in tone is "Player Piano" by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. It was written in the early 1950's, but is a satire of technology taking over society in the future, which is pretty much how our world is in 2024. He was a brilliant writer who had a visionary outlook in the way Asimov did when writing "I, Robot" in the 1950's.

Cassie other great movies along these lines, which are just as good are Bicentennial Man starring Robin Williams and A.I.: Artificial Intelligence starring Halley Joel Osment t(he kid from The Sixth Sense), they are less actiony but even more thought provoking.

This movie is draw inspiration from Isaac Asimov's ROBOT series. He made the 3 laws in order to press the situations of how ROBOTS or any AI will react to different situations. This is a very well put together film. They used the constraints of the 3 laws to frame their story...

The book and movie are very different, but I like both. I did enjoy this for what it is and found it very entertaining. There are so many good movies to watch. Some of my favorites: The Station Agent (2003), Lone Star (1996), Sweet Land (2005), The Way You Look Tonight (2019), Earth Girls Are Easy (1988), The Wedding Banquet (1993).

Loved this movie. I received this as a DVD for a Christmas present back in 2006. The case was transparent, it was so cool. I can’t even count how many times I watched it. So awesome!

Sonny was Alan Tudyk, from Firefly.

Wow I was just thinking about how more people needed to react to this movie

I love this movie. It’s so underrated. Glad you got the prompt to watch this one! Favorite line: Spooner: “Gigi you’re a genius!” Gigi: “True!” ☺️

For more movies with robots check out "Surrogates" (2009) with Bruce Willis, "Replicas" (2018) with Keanu Reeves, and for an oldie maybe also consider "Saturn 3" (1980) with Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett and Harvey Keitel. :)

One of my favourite films from my childhood. Such a good movie

Can’t believe Tom chose Giselle over Bridget 😢

Movie was made in 2004, taking place 31 years in the future. I love how it looks as just as futuristic now but now 2035 is only 11 years away.

This movie shares a name with a series of I think comics (I could be wrong about the format.) Based on the rules laid out in the beginning especially the first law, Viki would NEVER be able to harm humans like she tries to do and she never does in the source material. This makes die hard fans of the source material very upset and they hate this movie. Ignoring that issue, though, this movie is great!

ALAN TUDYK! This is Sunny. You know him as Wash, in your favorite scifi tv program….FIREFLY!

Aside from all the robots going Skynet on everyone, I can't wait for robotics and AI to get to this level. Who would you rather taking care of you when you get older and need assisted living services? Would you want a robot that has been programmed to take for you, that will do it without question, without emotion, without half ass effort, 24/7, or take the chance that you get someone who is only doing that job because that's all they can get, doesn't feel like taking care of you, and really doesn't care?

This wonderful 2004 "I Robot" film is based on science fiction short stories by American writer Isaac Asimov. It was first published in 1950! Asimov came up with the 3 Laws in his writings.

Hi Cassie, long time subscriber, 1st time commenting. I always love your reactions. Your tastes in movies are great and you and your sister are fun to watch movies with. I don't know if you'll even read this comment, after about the first 50 or so I bet it is hard to go through the whole list. But I was hoping to recommend another sci fi movie that I think you would enjoy if you haven't already seen it. "Tomorrowland" from 2015 starring George Clooney is a diamond in the rough. Not a big box office movie, but has everything that makes for a good watch. Anyway, Thank you for your hard work and keep up the great content.

I hope I got this right but the actor who voiced Sonny, is Alan Tudyk, who also played Tucker in Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

There's a long history of movies being forgotten or just being under appreciated. There are so many movies that are not among the focal points of social commentary. This is one of them. And many more. I'm not sure if you've seen it but off the top of my head, Real Steel is another one.

Alan Wray Tudyk (/ˈtjuːdɪk/ TEW-dik; born March 16, 1971) is an American actor. His film work includes roles in 28 Days (2000), A Knight's Tale (2001), Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004), voice and motion capture for Sonny in I, Robot (2004), and <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="190">3:10</a> to Yuma (2007).

Since you are delving into AI and operating systems, may I suggest 'Her' (2013). IMO, one of the most underrated, underappreciated movies of this century to this point. It takes place in Los Angeles 2025 and looks to be spot on accurate to the world that is becoming and to quite an extent already is here. It stars Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, and the voice of Scarlett Johansson as an operating system. Directed by Spike Jonze. It is a tender, romantic story which I know you will love. Especially timely with Valentine's Day coming. Wonderful cast, direction, cinematography, art design. Please Cassie (and Carly), do a video reaction to 'Her.'

I am sure you have heard this somewhere already, the 3 Laws of Robotics are derived from Isaac Asimov. The rules were introduced in his 1942 short story "Runaround" (included in the 1950 collection I, Robot) & used in the series of 'Foundation' books. However in the 'Foundation' books a Robot (R. Daneel Olivaw) introduces a 'Zeroth Law' that supersedes the other laws - 'A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.' This law allowed robots to disobey the other 3 laws as it placed Humanity first allowing them to kill humans, other robots or themselves if it hurt humanity & Daneel deemed robots a harm to humanity as humans had started to stop thinking & set about destroying them all.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s reading all the SiFi writings of Isaac Asimov (the original Author) and I loved I, Robto and a few others with the robot robopsychologist Susan Calvin. Yes I know, I was a bit of a loner.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1104">18:24</a> “Isn’t there cameras that see these things?” In fact, there are. And 300 points, if you can guess what company makes them!

This version of I Robot was fantastic, so I say this with no malice whatsoever, the movie is nothing like that book, which was actually a collection of short stories about the 3 laws and AI in general. It's absolutely worth a read as he was one of last centuries greatest thinkers on the subject.

Its funny that you said he looks like Neo, because Will Smith was actually offered the role of Neo but turned it down to do Wild Wild West.

For me, the coolest thing about this movie was being be to walk down to where they were filming some of the early scenes. :)

Not only this has really well built world. The human's and sonny really act like regular human's and not cheesy actors. One of the best scene where Susan's disbelief even seeing what just happened. I have seen many cases were people see front of their eyes how things they believed were proven fake. Bridget Moyanahan as Susan Calvin really nail's that scene for me.

I personally think I'Robot is an underrated classic, or maybe I was just at a great age for it when it first came out!
