Only Alright (Spoilers)

Rating: 6/10 (14 August 2004)

This movie, simply put, is alright. If you read the book, as I have, you might be disappointed because the movie only touches on parts of the book that have Susan Calvin and a major character.
The use of the cast is pretty minimal, the story follows totally around Will Smith, the supporting characters are pretty useless aside from Sonny the robot.
Its a typical Will Smith saves the world movie. Will Smith has problem due to past occurrence, no one believes him, world-wide crisis, solution. Thats how the movie goes, lucky for the viewer, the movie is not slow at all, After the first 10 minutes of advertising (not the previews, the movies first ten minutes is a big commercial), the movie starts and is enjoyable.
What could have made the movie better was more a more in-depth look into what Asimov created, rather than a bastardized version that appeals to a more uneducated audience. They could have gone A Clockwork Orange with this one and done something really interesting, but instead they went for the summer blockbuster.
Less than solid acting, More than solid visuals, An O.K story line makes an OK movie. Go for a matinée or on cheapie tuesday.
