Re: OT Aye, Carumba! I, Robot.
 

I, Robot the movie looks like this:

The robot kills it creator

The company seems to be covering it up since it is the first of a new line of robots for humans that is going into mass production and global shipment 1 robot for every 5 humans! Woo!

Will Smith seems to be a cop

Will Smith thinks the robots are evil and want to take over the world.

The Robots are evil and start attacking people and trying to take over the world.

I think that is about the extent of the public knowledge base of the film so far.

It is an action flick.


I will probably go see this movie and pretend that its name is anything other than I, Robot. Other than the fact that they both involve robots I see almost no relation.
Honestly if they had called it ANYTHING other than I, Robot I think it would be a good Sci Fi Action flick. As it is everyone will just remember it as the movie that butchered its original text even more than Starship Troopers did.

Re: OT Aye, Carumba! I, Robot.
 

OK, it does sound like complete crap. If it disregards asimov as far as you say it does I will make a point of not seeing it. Not until it's out on TV anyway.

Re: OT Aye, Carumba! I, Robot.
 

I did a little data mining, and it appears that the movie's connection with the actual story anthology "I Robot" is just with the title alone...

IOW, they just hijacked the title to add credibility to their crud. [Pun intended] http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Isaac Asimov could turn out better scripts than the average hollywood stuff while suffering from a splitting headache, cronic back pain, pnunomia, amnesia and writer's block.

If they threw in a few Megaman references I *might* watch it... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif
