Tuesday July 20, 2004 I, Robot: Disappointing Movie
A long, long time ago, I was fascinated by Isaac Asinov's novels, especially the stories that related to the 3 laws of robotics. I read all that I could find at my local library. So you can imagine how excited I was when I learned that there was a "I, Robot" movie being made. I talked my wife into seeing it.
What a disappointment! The movie doesn't really do justice to the books. The only element that the movie has in common with the book are the 3 laws, USR, and robots. Otherwise, it is a complete fabrication. This is reflected in a statement made in the credits: "Suggested by I, Robot". Not based on, not inspired by. What a shame that such an amazing literary work was corrupted and twisted by Hollywood. It is essentially a waste of time and money.
Oh well...
