I don't get the hate (and I read)

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2015)

I grew-up reading Asimov. The "Foundation" series was great fun. I LOVED his innovations on storytelling, but while I think the "I Robot" series is some of his best work, we're still not talking Dostoevsky here. The "book" will NEVER be the same as the movie. In this case the producers acknowledged it was "based on an/the idea." I've said it elsewhere, but comparing a book to a film is like comparing a painting to a poem. Set reasonable expectations and enjoy things for what they are. Check out the "original" Anthony Burgess novel "A Clockwork Orange" against the Kubrick film. Burgess acknowledged he was a "starving artist" offered a TRUCKLOAD of money to let Kubrick do the film. The original novel and the Kubrick treatment are COMPLETELY different. One favors "nature" over "nurture;" the other switches the two.
This is NOT Asimov. Why does that matter? I liked liked it.
(Favorite line: I seriously doubt we have 6 minutes.)
