I hoped for much...

Rating: 7/10 (16 August 2004)

Although an interesting movie (referring to the special-effects and the overall feeling after it has ended), the story is a bit fuzzy. I just don't buy that robo-phobic cop and his "out-of-the-blue" conspiracy theories, the "Oh! Such a helpful insider..." routine, and many more. But, the rather philosophic ideas taken from Asimov's work do make up for much, even if the beginning drove one of my friends crazy. In a nutshell, it's worth the ticket money, but don't expect much... You'll be disappointed by the background info about the characters (look out for why Spooner hates robots so much! I nearly laughed!), but, as I said, it leaves you with, if not a warm, at least a not-so-cold-feeling inside. :)
