4th rule: My review is useful (dvd)

Rating: 7/10 (9 October 2011)

I can't judge this adaptation as I never read a single book of Asimov. But, first of all, it was great to see Science Fiction on a big screen because it's indeed a great but hard genre. Its basic rule to deal with ideas is respected here because this movie makes think about the robots. I think the modern, bright and chromatic design and cast are excellent: the duo of Will, Mr Cool and Bridget, Miss Cold, works perfectly. Unfortunately, the story is a bit complicated and a lot of the social effects of robots are left over. Worse, the future world is too close to our daily lives and by comparison, the funny and eccentric vision of "Back to the future Part II" is more interesting. The ending is really reminiscent of "Ronin", the comic book of Frank Miller. But finally, after watching it, I want to look at Asimov's writings. Thus this movie is successful in that sense.
