I, Robot at Revival House Perth
Experience Alex Proyas's visually stunning 2004 sci-fi thriller that explores what happens when humanity's greatest creation becomes its greatest threat. In 2035 Chicago, robots serve mankind under the protection of the Three Laws of Robotics - until Detective Del Spooner investigates the apparent suicide of robotics pioneer Dr. Alfred Lanning and uncovers a conspiracy that could enslave humanity.
Will Smith delivers a charismatic performance as Spooner, a technophobic cop whose intuition about robot behavior puts him at odds with a society that trusts machines more than humans. Bridget Moynahan brings intelligence and warmth to Dr. Susan Calvin, the robot psychologist caught between scientific logic and growing doubt about her life's work.
Proyas's visionary direction creates a believable future where sleek robots and towering skyscrapers blend seamlessly with recognizable human struggles. The film's exploration of artificial intelligence, free will, and the nature of consciousness raises profound questions while delivering spectacular action sequences.
Alan Tudyk provides the voice and motion-capture performance for Sonny, a unique robot whose apparent emotions and dreams challenge everything humanity believes about artificial life. The groundbreaking visual effects create thousands of photorealistic robots while maintaining the story's focus on character and theme.
Loosely inspired by Isaac Asimov's classic stories, the film updates his Three Laws for the modern era while honoring his exploration of robot ethics and human nature.
Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
