Saw this at the Cinema last night. Cracking film, could have been a bit better, you will need to suspend reality for a bit, but most enjoyable. The film seemed like 30mins.

Good story, good acting and well filmed.

I saw this on Friday - the effects are mind bogglingly good, very impressed. I could have gone straight back in and watched it again. Definateley one for the DVD collection.

StickyMicky

no no no

its a seriosly crap film
honest i was sooo unimpressed

yes it has good effects and stuff, but come on, its just a blatent rip off of the matrix/terminator films and there a whole lot better IMO

Hello

It was okay -- nothing spectacular, not "brilliant", but worth 2 hours of my time.

I Robot is based on a story by isaac asimov, which pre dates Matrix and Terminator films by some way. They rippped him off!

Hello

Mmmm. Well, the title is certainly the same, but this reviewer kind of got it right about the rest of the links. http://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=i_robot

Along with a picture that aptly describes the link between the two:

I love those links. I must say I did notice the huge brand plugs.

I still enjoyed the film though.

Seriously though, how many films out there based on books truefuly stick to the text? Not many is my guess. A shame.

s-man

Haven't seen it but it looks completely predictable and, lets face it, Will Smith isn't liekly to appear in a film where he loses is he? Special Effects look cool but that's not really enough these days is it? Also, Asimov may have been there first but the bottom line is I-Robot is only coming out now & we have seen the story before regardless of which came first. Need to see it right enough but can't say I'm that enthused...

mrklaw

it is mostly predictable, apart from a couple of moments where they avoided the obvious cliches.

There are also some terrible hands on heads moments (eg the car spinning in the chase scene).

But overall pretty enjoyable hokum

I was sent this over msn other week, not bad. reminded me of AI

StickyMicky

when i first saw the trailer in the pictures i thought it was AI 2

untill i relised it wasnt, and ***** boy was on the screen

Brun

Wasn't bad. Certainly a movie which needs the big screen.
Was worth the trip out

JayPSC

I thought it was pretty good...




Considering Will Smith was in it.

julian N/W wrx my93

have you not got it on dvd yet?

peeps have had it for weeks where i work.
and thunderbirds as well (great film!)

Sith

But a film like that I want to see on the big screen in a cinema first.

angrynorth

Better than I thought it was going to be. Disappointed with the "product placement"

Owl28

Went to see it this afternoon with the mistress! Not bad but I would say that as the main man has the same surname as my good self ( Spooner ) Wish I also had his money and as our lass said......His body!!LOL

Steve.

Disappointed with the product placement??? That Audi was the star of the show!

unclebuck

Sounds like cr*p to me. Think I'll stick with a genuine adaption like Shawshank Redemption or The Green Mile.

The main Audi was fantastic, but the fact that in the future, all cars were Audi didn't seem very realistic to me. Nor one of the opening shots of the Converse Chuck Taylors, with the line,
"vintage 2004", way too obvious and a real sell out. The film was OK but the product placement was too forceful.

"Sounds like cr*p to me. Think I'll stick with a genuine adaption like Shawshank Redemption or The Green Mile."

sticking close to the book is no sure winner. the films the film and the books the book........they stand and fall alone.

PS- peter benchley never had his shark getting blown up!

scoobypreza

ok its my birthday tomorrow and we're going to the cinema .......if we don't watch I Robot what should we see???

cath

Jaybird-UK

just got back from seeing it, very good IMHO


However a better title might be I, product placement

julian N/W wrx my93

£5 for dvd or over twice as much for the piccys?

i know the one i want!

StickyMicky

lol
i would have been a bit gutted if i had payed to see it in the flix

OllyK

Not read GM, but read most of Steven Kings other books and certainyl those that made it to film, and none of them follow the story line too well either. Shawshank did an OK job but missed an awful lot of stuff out. The Shining isn't even close and don't get me started on Running Man, brilliant book, pants film

bigsinky

available for preview on supernova for a while now, certainly at least a week before its UK release. i thought it was good, even if it didnt follow the book to any great extent.

cheers

bigsinky

@UB

While definately better that I,Robot the screenplay adaptions for these movies miss an aweful lot out as well.

cheers
