I'm not interested, either. I mean if everyone and their grandmother wanted to go out one evening and watch it, I would go grudgingly, but otherwise...
I know that the movie has essentially NOTHING to do with anything Asimov wrote.
That is essentially incorrect. As I wrote in my own journal, the seed of the story is in one of Asimov's robot stories, and other elements of his robot stories show up throughout the movie.
BTW, when you put in your Current Music field: "Ken - typing in the next cubicle" - is that still the same dorky Ken that was there when I worked at NIA?
No, it's not exactly Asimov, not even close, really, but it has more Asimovian elements than I had come to expect. The sort of main point and depth of characters was surprisingly there.
Also, Alan Tudyk is intense as Sonny and it's neat to see (hear?) him being serious once in a while.
I guess my lack of interest in Sci-Fi really takes over. I have no interest in Asimov, so the degree to which his elements were used has no influence. I think I actually don't like robots. I guess that makes me a bigot? :)
I enjoy Will Smith, but his presence in the movie doesn't outweigh the other elements which turn me off to it.
Hahaha. For someone getting anal over someone else's gramatical errors, you should have reread your post. To be correct, you would have had to typed, "It is spelled, you're, dear." =)Heehee. Sorry, I had to be a silly ass.
MEH..I'm interested in the movie itself. The fact that Will Smith is in it, makes it more appealing to me. What can I say? He's good. I've not read Asimov yet. I just like sci-fi and it seems like a cool movie to see. Especially on big screen.
Nope. I'm not all that gung-ho to see it either. I stopped reading Asimov, whose writing I liked when he started trying to tie all his series together. Bleah. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like anyone else's take on old Isaac's work.

And besides, it started in 10 minutes where Shrek2 started in 45, so it won the draw. :)

My biggest issue with the film is posted here:

It's good to know I'm not the only one concerned with racism and general industry issues where movies get away with treated minorities so badly!!!
