I Robot 2. Humans vs Robots!
Here is a piece of good news for I, Robot fans: I, Robot 2 may soon meet the public!
I, Robot, the science fiction action film released in 2004, was such a hot movie that it grossed （收入总计）＄347 million for a worldwide total.
The story is between humans and robots. In 2035, robots serve humans under three laws:
A robot may not injure a human being;
A robot must obey orders given by human beings.
A robot must protect itself as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law.
However, with the development of technology, the robots start to have their own thinking instead of obeying the orders as they are programmed, they want to protect themselves and rule human beings. A battle between humans and robots is inevitable（不可逆免的）.
Do you believe that one day computers may be cleverer than human brains? Are you afraid that robots invented by humans can surpass humans and conquer the world? Let’s find the answers in I Robot 2.
What kind of film is I. Robor?
