I, Robot Blu-ray Release - Blu-ray Forum

teunis · 10-03-2007, 05:41 AM

Good evening. First off, my apologies if this has been noticed and noted in another thread, I did a quick search first.

I just watched I, Robot for the last time on DVD before trading and upgrading to Blu-Ray. It's better then I had remembered and I am excited for the Blu-Ray release.

What I noticed is: Sonny is a "blue" coloured robot (NS-5), a good guy, along with Spooner, our hero cop. The evil NS-5's are all "red". After I realized the visual differences in this film between good and evil, I thoroughly enjoyed "blue" kicking the crap out of "red".

Anybody else seeing a bigger picture here?

Awesome !!

lol, good catch. I should get the Blu version, I liked that movie.

...there is a symbolic meaning there.

Don't watch A Bug's Life then followed by Antz

I can't wait to see this movie on Blu. I haven't read the book by Asimov but I enjoyed the movie.

Then the same thing goes for transformers? Autobots had blue eyes and decepticons had red..And it is a HD-DVD exclusive..Go figure..

Oh my god, you guys are thinking WAY too hard about some of this stuff. Are you guys serious???

lgans316 · 10-03-2007, 09:41 AM

How about the HD DVD logo in Toshiba HD DVD players glowing in BLU ?

If you look closely in Casino royal when Bond sneaks into the Security office (after parking that guy's Range Rover) you will see the video equipment used are blu-ray players.

gadgets · 10-03-2007, 12:27 PM

ZMan · 10-03-2007, 12:38 PM

Blue has always been depicted in history and folklore as a good color (Heaven is always shown in a shade of blue) while red has always been an evil color (Hell is always shown in red)!

Xerious · 10-03-2007, 12:38 PM

I, Robot is a must have... I love Will Smith

BadAss · 10-03-2007, 01:04 PM

OMG, you're all right, let me think, yes Frodo has those big Blue eyes and the Balrog has eyes made from the fires of hell.

jedisinclair · 10-03-2007, 01:34 PM

Even Tron (which would be a Blu-ray exclusive if released in high def)... good guys Blue, Bad guys red.

glenn22 · 10-03-2007, 01:37 PM

The Asimov book is actually a collection of short stories and the movie bears little resemblance to any of them, except for the concept of the Three Laws. However the book is a classic and you would probably enjoy it. And I enjoyed the movie as well, can't wait to get the blu-ray (never bought the DVD).

Yeah, Will Smith is awesome. I would rebuy most dvds I have with him starring in it. The only Smith movies I refuse to buy are Men In Black 2 and Wild Wild West.

Bad Boys
Bad Boys 2
Enemy of the State
I, Robot
Independence Day
Men In Black

Would rebuy all of these^^^

teunis · 10-03-2007, 02:46 PM

These colour references are everywhere.
Hilarious.

u_nick · 10-03-2007, 02:51 PM

Haha, yeah. Red is a classic sign of evil/death/bad things in media & movies all over the place. Blue is a sign of peacefulness and good. I bet if we think about it, we could come up with undred of movies.

Remember in Star Wars when the first droid Owen & Luke bought blew up as Luke was walking it home? I seem to remember him being red in a few areas... also, R5D4 kinda treated R2D2 like a dick. But in the end, R2D2 came out on top.
