it's about time

Rating: 9/10 (17 July 2004)

fun, with a story that paces itself without blowing a load up front and then muddling along forever; a few nice surprises; lots of well-managed action tension; an ending i didn't see coming; JUST a couple of emotional tweaks, and all the loose ends tied up.
i thought the special effects were the best i've seen so far- some were so good i laughed out loud. also, Proyas created a believable environment, visually and otherwise.
i knew i wasn't going to be seeing an Asimovian filmation, but **possible spoiler coming** the bad guy's logic IS impeccable and faithful to the book I, Robot's original themes.
