OK - but should not take Asimov's title

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2004)

The original book and concept by Asimov was excellent and the movie had almost nothing in common with the original. The movie is OK as a technothriller, but if the producers could have produced the original, it would have had to have been better. I think Asimov's estate should never have given permission to use the title without more control of the script. I was anticipating the world described in the novel and the challenges faced by the protagonists. I was particularly wondering how they would portray R. Daneel Olivaw...the central character of the novel. Oh well, a fun movie, but a significant bait and switch for the real Asimov fans.
