I, Robot a must rent at least (1 Viewer)

We also get 2-disc treatment here. But I will not buy until it is on sale. Nice to look at, but can wait or miss.

I saw the movie today and thought it was very entertaining. Well worth the purchase. The transfer is stellar and the DTS track is reference.

I loved this film. I saw it opening weekend and thought it was great fun! As soon as my X-1 returns from the shop, i'm picking it up.

It's funny, the film reminded me alot of the first part of The Second Renaissance from The Animatrix. In fact, one could connect I, Robot to The Matrix if they wanted to, it fits.

When I first saw the previews for "I, Robot" I thought "Hmmmm, Caves of Steel using the more well known title". The idea of Will Smith as a Lije Bailey based charachter did not bother me since, I am sure, casting was done with marketing in mind and I do like him. But, when the Three Laws, the very core of Asimov's Robot universe, are stood on their head, I opted out and will opt out of this release.

Since "I, Robot" was a collection of short stories linked by Susan Calvin's recollections, I would think it would be good fodder for a TV mini-series.

I thought it was an entertaining movie. Saw it in the theater. I'll pick it up if I can find it used.

 

[EricW]

i think this movie is what Minority Report would have been in the hands of a lesser director... makes you appreciate Spielberg

 

[Tim Glover]

Saw this tonight for the first time. The audio/video were tremendous but the film itself average. Thank God for Netflix.

 

[David Galindo]

Cmon now...you cant leave us hanging like that

Blind bought the movie since I was a huge Dark City fan...and it was pretty good. I enjoyed it, and glad I own it. Recommended for some action fun & gun.

First they desecrate startship troopers... then I, robot... I'm scared to see which classic they debase next. I haven't seen I, robot yet, but they can't possibly piss on Asimov's legacy more then they did Heinlein's.

 

[Shane Martin]

I thoroughly enjoyed this at the theater and plan to pick it up once the 2 disc streets. I can wait.

 

[Jack Briggs]

Interesting to note that those who are familiar with Isaac Asimov are down on this movie, while those who are not SF readers seem to like the thing.

 

[Steve Christou]

er Jack I'm a long time SF reader and managed to enjoy I,Robot too, something some of the old fogeys on this thread are incapable of doing.

 

[anthony_b]

I originally saw it yesterday at low volumes and today I'm working from home and watched it again at reference levels...Only one word can describe it...WOW !!!

 

[Lars_J]

Ummm... Not quite. I'm an avid SF reader, and I liked this movie a lot. The only ones who seem to voice any major complaints are Asimov "purists", as far as I can tell...

 

[Patrick Sun]

The I, Robot discussion thread does have its share of purists vs. the unfamiliar, I wasn't keen either with the adaptation effort for this film. Merits of the film itself should go in the discussion thread.

Here's the I, Robot Review thread as well.

 

[ArthurMy]

Are you joking? Many people have voiced complaints. Many critics have voiced complaints. I have voiced complaints. I am hardly an Asimov purist, nor have I read the I, Robot story. I still think it's bad. Bad in the way that most movies today are bad - mindless, empty, and not interesting - the usual Screenwriting 101 Robert McKee and Syd Field mish-mash. And the "old fogey" remark is typical of youngsters who just don't understand that some people prefer competently written, acted, and directed films, to loud, noisy, empty and frankly idiotic formula junk. If you liked it - grand. I guess that makes you a young fogey, and I'll just have to happily live with my senior fogey status.

 

[Kwang Suh]

Will Smith ruins this movie for me, unfortunately.

 

[Shane Martin]

Some folks are trying to compare it in their mind to what it should have been instead of what it is. Regardless I enjoyed the movie alot for what it was.

 

[Scott Kimball]

Well put!
