mediocre effort

Rating: 3/10 (16 December 2005)

I didn't hate this film, but it did itself no favours by naming itself after a collection of Robb-mystery tales that barely stretched my intellect when i read them age ten. One aspect i liked in the books was that there was none of the mad supercomputer cliché. Why did this film version of it need it. This is lazy and gutless and not something Asimov would been happy with. With the books you got the idea that a new form of life had been created and was taking a few stumbling steps towards their own morality and philosophy. The CGI graphics are amazing but then nowadays that's the same as saying 'look at those pictures: they're moving!'.
