Awesome …

I am not a film critic, and I’m certainly no writer — but I am a big fan of Mark Millar‘s work.

Not since The Matrix have I been this excited to see a film. It’s gritty, colorful, and filled with bad language and insane kill sequences. This film has cult following written all over it!

In some ways it’s filmed in a very amateurish fashion; it’s the sudden change from a laughable and funny looking super-hero wannabe’s lame life sequences to a couple hard-core, seasoned superheros that makes the film that much sweeter.

Definitely a must see on April 16th!

Again, these trailers aren’t for your kids to see or hear.

It’s all about the training.

God created the world and in it all the wonder and glory of His imagination. Then Satan was cast from heaven and became the ruler of earth. We live our whole life attempting to recreate that which he has already accomplished. I, Robot is going to be one of those great sci-fi films I love to watch, so far I believe that “The Matrix” is where all sci-fi has to live up to. But both of those films have something in common. Neo was prophesied to be the savior of the world, and he was to battle the ruler of that world. A parallel between Jesus and Satan. And in the final volume of the trilogy Neo sacrifices himself, but in doing so defeats that which had enslaved mankind. This has already been done, and in a much more horrifying way to Jesus, but we miss it completely. Now with “I,Robot” we see another dimention in the approach of a living God. A story in which humans have created unassisted automated machines capable of human tasks, yet unaware of disobeying that which is commanded of them. Much like Adam and Eve they are perfect in every way, never faltering from the original concept of their purpose. But at some point a robot makes a decision all on it’s own causing serious problems to humans.
