Now that I, ROBOT is in the running in the vfx bakeoff, its a good opportunity to check out this underrated action film with Will Smith on DVD (Fox Home Ent., $29.98), particularly Digital Domains first foray into 3D characters.
This is not a special edition, so bonus features are pretty minimal. Director Alex Proyas (DARK CITY) and screenwriter Akiva Goldman (A BEAUTIFUL MIND) discuss tidbits such as the influence of METROPOLIS and other robot movies as well as a deleted scene. And the making-of featurette discusses how Alan Tudyk was Gollum-zed to play Sonny the robot.
