I, Robot (2004)

Corrected entry: When Del Spooner jumps down from the control panel level of VIKI to get to her brain and inject the nano-robots, he tries to slow his fall by holding onto the glowing pipes. He lets go rather far from the platform above. Considering that he is already falling very fast, he should have landed very hard and cringed from the impact, but he merely landed and absorbed the impact by bending his knees. That would not be possible.

Correction: That's not what happens at all. He already slowed his decent significantly so when he dropped down, he wasn't going "very fast". Nor could you classify his drop as being from "rather far". But he does more than just bend his knees, he rolls, which significantly reduces the shock.

I, Robot (2004)

Corrected entry: When Dr Calvin terminates the empty shell NS5 instead of Sonny, why didn't VIKI notice and take action, even to notify the watching Robertson of the fact?

Correction: Given VIKI's ultimate goal, she simply wanted Sonny to remain active to use him like she was using the other robots. She also knew of his uniqueness and probably thought he'd help evolve the other robots (voluntarily or not).

I, Robot (2004)

Corrected entry: After Sonny is taken in to custody, John and Del are standing talking outside the interrogation room and you can see Sonny through the glass door. You can also see images from the CCTV along the top of the glass door. After Del winks at John and he goes inside the interrogation room, it shows a shot from behind Sonny just as the door is closing. You can see that the door is no longer glass, it has changed to a solid gray door.

Correction: What you're describing is two different parts of the door. The first, where it's glass, is from outside the room. The second, solid gray, is from inside the room. This is nothing more than advanced technology mimicking a one-way mirror in an interrogation room, where inside the room it's a reflective mirror and on the outside it's see-through glass.

I, Robot (2004)

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the movie, Spooner turns on his CD player-ish thing and the music starts (timestamp at 0:00). Two or three seconds later (with no interruption in the music), the player is seen again, showing a timestamp of 10 seconds.

Sereenie

Correction: 8 seconds elapse from when Spooner hits play to when we see the music player with the timestamp (not 2 or 3 seconds). When we first see the timestamp, it reads 0:08, then continues to count up to 0:10, but we see it go from 0:08 to 0:09 then to 0:10.

I, Robot (2004)

Corrected entry: In the beginning of the Ovaltine Cafe scene, the TV on the wall shows the d.o.b and d.o.d of Lanning. It says 1921-2015, but at the beginning of the film the year is shown as 2035. According to the TV Lanning would have been 94 years old when he died, but he was said to be 114 years old.

Correction: It reads "1921-2035".

I, Robot (2004)

Corrected entry: In the scene where Sonny jumps out of the bin and knocks Spooner's gun out of his hand, he then picks it up and points it at him. As he turns to run toward the hole in the window, the gun is not in his hand during the slow motion scene of him running, but it magically reappears in his hand as he is flying out the window.

Correction: You see the gun in his right hand the whole time. From when he flips, runs, and jumps. Even when the camera angle changes you can see the shadow of the gun when its body is blocking the view of its hand.
