I totally didn't see the robotic arm thing coming; I'm so gullible sometimes while watching a flick the first time.

It was a nice twist, and made added incentive / conflict for Will Smith's character.

The T.Rex they call JANE!

Not to mention that it gave him the ability to NOT get killed in the final battle.

I robot was lame. Another lame fresh prince remake.

Even now, Matrix holds up. It was state of the art, and not much has surpassed it. Many have tried. The first sequel was good as well. I think Joss jumped into the 3rd one, to kill of many of the characters.

I thought the Matrix was awesome and I Robot was quite good.

I'm interested in your point about why the robots harvested humans when they could have picked something more efficient. How do Matrix buffs answer the question? I'm wondering if it has to do with the fact that humans created the robots to be slaves, so, now that the robots are in power, they "feel" that enslaving the humans in return is proper justice. It allows them to always be able to remind themselves of their mastery over that which dominated them. I also wonder if the robots consider humans their "father" in some ways, and can't bring themselves to totally annihilate their creators.

If you really watched the movies you would see the Wachoskis were always about making people think. By the end of the trilogy who is good who is bad starts to blur.

A case could be made that the Matrix needs the drama of a programmed human existence to have a sense of purpose- how meaningless would it be to have everything run smoothly with cattle in tubes, imagining that they're eating grass in fields all day?
Of course Agent Smith would never admit this.

I think the matrix trilogy was overall way better then I,Robot. I mean I,Robot dealt with A.I. and what not, but the Matrix dealt with so much more you could watch those movies 10 times and figure something new out everytime. They aren't just movies about A.I. and robots, but they deal with the nature of reality, control, free will, determinism, tons of religious themes. Oh and if you watch any action movie made in the last 10 years and you see someone fly across the screen to kick someone or a gun fight break out or a car chase and everything goes in slow motion that's the Matrix.
