The Video: Sizing Up the Picture

Alex Proyas's sci-fi actioner arrives to 3D Blu-ray with a generally pleasing, but ultimately unnecessary1080p/MVC MPEG-4 encode. Presented in an open matte aspect ratio of 1.78:1 (previous Blu-ray has the OAR of 2.35:1), the conversion is not half bad, all things considered, but it also does absolutely nothing for the film either. Depth and dimensionality is apparent and can be pretty cool in several sequences, especially during scenes with long hallways, whenever Spooner drives through the freeway tunnel or when the action suddenly moves in slow-motion. Background objects seem to be at great distances, further extending the image, and the final battle against V.I.K.I. has some of the best 3D effects of the entire movie.

Final Thoughts
Lacking all the political subtext and metaphysical questions asked in Isaac Asimov's original stories, 'I, Robot' is still a surprisingly entertaining flick when taken as a straightforward popcorn sci-fi actioner. From director Alex Proyas, the movie is visually stunning with an amusing mystery and lots of humor thanks to Will Smith's usual confident performance. The 3D Blu-ray unfortunately is not at all impressive, and the format doesn't really benefit the film, except towards the end. The lossless audio is the same demo-worthy presentation as before, but supplemental material is greatly lacking. Still, fans of the movie will find little to complain about and are more likely to be pleased with the package.
