Product: I, Robot [Region 2] (2004)
Rating: 5.0
As Human as Science Fiction Gets
I never read the book but have read many other Azimov works including the Foundation Trilogy. I know Azimov when I see him, and he was all over this classic film. Not having read the book, I cannot yet determine where Azimov left off and the filmmakers picked up, but this film astutely blurred the lines between tool, machine, slave, servant and human. Much like Blade Runner before it (though more traditionally sci-fi in look and feel), I, Robot examines but leaves wide open the legal and moral criteria by which we qualify rational beings as citizens with citizens' rights.
