An intelligent thriller

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2004)

The visuals are excellent, with old and new robots clearly distinct. It does pick up themes which Asimov explored, even though the specific explanation is a new variant.
I was glad to see Dr Susan Calvin left pretty much as Asimov conceived her. Though this may be because there is a segment of the audience that would object to anything overtly sexual between a black man and a white woman. As it is, the hostility of some reviewers is hard to understand unless they are upset by the overturning of racial hierarchies.
I am glad to see it doing well, and hope that more of Asimov's work gets Hollywooded. What about The Currents Of Space, say?
