Asimov Would Be Happy
Well, reasonably so. I like this film, did from its cinema release and on DVD. On Blu-ray is it awesome. The 3D conversion version is worth the extra coin and the actual conversion has been done extremely well, with few, if any, artifacts or depth-of field/focus screw-ups.While Will Smith was his typical self, showing (I think), the right amount of strength, weakness, brashness and humour, I have always thought that the part of Susan Calvin was rather underplayed by Bridget Moynahan and that a more animated performance was required, from someone like Sandra Bullock, or even Mary McDonnell (now that would be interesting).There are plenty of reviews out there that say pretty much what I would, although I personally think this movie is a lot better than it has generally been given credit for. While I liked the DVD, the 3D Blu-ray version is stunning. The 3D effect has worked a treat and the upgrade to the soundtrack is fabulous. I have the advantage of now, (since a major upgrade), watching movies at home via a quality projector on a really big (136" 16:9) screen, which makes the 3D experience (and the 11.2 sound experience too) simply mind-blowing. Just like the experience of watching 3D in a big-screen suburban cinema, the picture envelopes you and the depth of the 3D becomes an almost natural view (except for the fact that you need special specs).
