Crapfest (spoilers)

Rating: 2/10 (23 December 2004)

Okay, I know my comments here are not timely, but this movie was awful.
First off, it is a shame the way Hollywood associated this movie with Asimov's work. The two have nothing to do with each other.
Additionally, the storyline was just silly. The scientist is being watched by the big bad computer, so naturally the only way he can get a message to the police is...killing himself. Don't they have payphones in the future? Oh, and the detective needs to know to follow the clues. That wouldn't be obvious to a freakin' police detective. Obviously, the best way to remind him to do his job is to leave a copy of Hansel and Gretel in the office.
Aside from the script issues, the special effects were not good. Many of the scenes look entirely fake, and the director lifted a lot of camera tricks from the Matrix.
If you're into Will Smith, you may want to check this out. If you're looking for sci fi, look elsewhere.
