Better than I expected--possible spoiler

Rating: 8/10 (16 July 2004)

This movie does a much better job of bringing Asimov to the screen than the previews lead one to believe. It draws its material from several different stories, primarily "Little Lost Robot" and "Robot Dreams." The robots are not evil; actually most of them are sympathetic, and their abnormal behavior is explained within the Three Laws. The biggest problem I had was with Bridget Moynahan as Dr. Calvin; she was much too emotional, sympathetic, good-looking, and fashionable. The robots were very well done and believable, especially the central robot character. Overall, it was an entertaining summer movie, and definitely NOT an atrocity committed upon Asimov's work.
