Great action flick

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2004)

I've read some negative reviews of the movie, but I was intent on seeing it anyway. I personally enjoyed it and thought it was a great action flick. Pretty good CGI and Will Smith looks better than ever. I've read many of Asimov's books in particular some of the robot series and can attest that the movie is very loosely based on his work. The three laws are integral and there are similarities to some plots I've read. I'd say that the plot and the effects got equal time and that it wasn't a strictly CGI-guided movie. Seeing it made me want to reread some of the old Asimov novels. If you enjoyed the movie, I would recommend Asimov's Caves of Steel as a good read. All in all, an enjoyable sci-fi action flick.
