It seems almost useless to dig into the special features. Considering how good the rest of the disc is there SHOULD be plenty to talk about. Director Alex Proyas and his screenwriter Akiva Goldsman prove that with a talkative commentary, covering almost all the aspects of production. It's a shame their enthusiasm doesn't carry over to the rest of the extras.
"The Making Of I, Robot" is totally useless promotional tripe. When all you do is tell the story of the film over some behind the scenes footage, you're not telling anyone anything about how the film was made. If you make it through to the end, you'll realize you wasted about 12 minutes of your life. The rest of the disc is nothing but trailers, including the already cult favorite TV Show "Arrested Development" and the Fox Inside Look at "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" which the studio is already pushing heavily. Oh, there's a still gallery too. (*)
If the Isaac Asimov fans want to stage some revolt against the studio, maybe they should stop and think first. At the very least, people now know who the man was and very well may take an interest in his theories. Without the film, regardless of how much it changes from his original concept, only a select few would ever appreciate him.

As I expected, the movie IS going to get the 2-disc treatment. IGN article can be found here:
