Very Good movie despite not being an Asimov based story

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2005)

This film was surprisingly good! I was worried that with Will Smith as the lead there would be some real lame dialog and they would direct him to act as he did in MiB. ( Tommy Lee Jones,Vincent D'Onofrio and Tony Shalhoub are the only reason to watch MIB) The movie is not an I. Asimov story, they credited him and used the title of one of his stories and aspects of his universe but, that is where it begins and ends.
This movie stands on its own as a great Scifi story in its own right, though.
the FX are pretty good, the NS4 and older robots actually looked like they were real, some dirty, scratched and looking older, the NS-5 robots look like computer generated characters and that is really the only aspect of the film that bothers me. but, ti is a small thing and for the average viewer it is a non-issue.
If you like scifi, and are tired of Utopian star trek stories, give it a chance. even Wil Smith couldn't ruin the story.
