Utter garbage

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 2004)

in one sentence: it ain't Asimov, it ain't entertainment. The original story cycle was intelligent and thought-provoking, this movie is neither. Most of the important story lines are gone (where are the tester guys? Where is that robot starting a cult? Where...? Where...? Where...?). It is not Asimov's plot, and I take using the name of a classic fiction write as gross disrespect - of author and an insult to viewers' intelligence (assuming there's any). It truly takes talent, chutzpa and insolence to screw up a classic: many thanks to producers for p***ing on Asimov's grave - this movie was almost as bad as Around the World in 80 days, only more so, as nobody reads Verne anymore, anyways. And, to add more insult to injury, I was convinced I was paying to see a movie, NOT more product commercials per minute than prime-time TV. JVC, Audi, Converse and others - here's my money, this is about as close as you'll ever see it. I want a refund, and - presuming there are actually literate people out there - I suggest that you dig up the original book and read it.
