10 Best Fully CGI Characters In Sci-Fi Movies

5. Sonny - I, Robot

Sonny I, Robot
20th Century Fox

I, Robot came at a time in which fully computer generated characters were shown to be possible, but weren't a huge staple of film yet. Sonny ended up being a great example of the possibilities that could come from using computer generated characters in a sci-fi project.

The character is played by Alan Tudyk and, as can be expected with the charming actor, he makes this role unbelievably loveable. His desire to live is a simple motive, yet utterly understandable, and his high levels of emotion and humanity as compared to the rest of the robots in the title make him thoroughly unique.

A story about artificial intelligence and a robot fighting for their right to be considered alive is quite overdone in the modern film landscape, as it's a thoroughly contemporary problem. But at the time of I, Robot's release, it was an incredibly exciting and fresh concept.

His design is uncanny and appears exactly as you would expect a cybernetic creature who is close to humanity to look. This amazing design synchronised with Tudyk's performance give Sonny an easy spot on this list.
