I've just finished watching "I, Robot", and I can honestly say I cannot adequately convey my complete horror at the level of flawedness in this film. I actually experienced vertigo whilst standing on the multiple precipices of gaping plot-chasms. Every model of Audi that exists actively SCREAMED its presence in every scene, behind Valerie Singleton constructed body-kits, including the Nuvolari concept (unless I'm very much mistaken).

As a result of this film I suspect that the rotational velocity attained by Dr. Asimov within his resting place, if properly harnessed, could feasibly supply the energy requirement of our planet for many Millennia to come.

What a fecking pile of ****e.

I wonder if this product placement caused the spawning of Audilover?

Allow me to simplify.....


...it's pants. You should have watched Cold Mountain.

That's pants too, but it has a cool US Civil War battle scene at the start. For people like me who remember collecting Civil War cards this counts for a lot!

Bubba po

Yeah, a know. I didn't read any reviews; I just hoped that some of Asimov's logical deduction, which was at the heart of the original story, might have made it into the script.

Unfortunately, we got a hackneyed rehashing of the Frankenstein Complex.

You could iron the shirt she's wearing on her chest, and her bottom lip is thicker than Will Smith's

Oh, and she's got Mahoosive feet

I had to endure 'a beatiful mind' on BBC3. What a crock of ****e!

It starred Will Smith and an android, what did you expect? Smith was comprehensively outshone by the android.

Dunno about that - he was 'talented' in the shower scene

Warwick-hunt

well i liked it, better that watching the normal crap on tv

ScoobyDoo555

I have to admit that I enjoyed it. Seen it before, but only this time did I notice the Audi "involvement"!

I thought something didn't make sense

Still, **** all else on TV last night, and couldn't watch that TOTAL sh1te "Lost"....

. To be fair it did what it said on the label, easy Sunday night viewing with some token car chases and explosions. There was a subtext there though about the destructive nature of humans (now where was that cliche used before ).

Bubba po

Here's a plot-hole for you; it was never satisfactorily explained why the robotics professor had to commit suicide to get the attention of Will Smith. Why didn't he just TELL him what was going on?

The Samuraiesque art of falling on his own sword was perhaps a more noble storyline.

SirFozzalot

I like it.

The professor was a "prisoner in his own home" and monitored constantly. Explained twice in the film. Whether he could have found another way is, of course, open to discussion.

Anyway, I took it as I saw it, light entertainment, a bit if fun action movie.

If you want proper sci-fi then read some decent books. Films like the Matrix, I robot are rather feeble when it comes to proper sci-fi but superficially good entertainment to take it as that, nothing more.

Why do you think I posted this thread in the first place?

..because really, deep down, you couldn't understand it and need the plot explained to you?

How rude

Davy wouldn't watch this film, He said they would "*****" it up compared to the book. I guess they did

Bubba po

They only kept one scene from the short story- the scene where the rogue NS-5 (Nestor) robot takes refuge in a room full of 1000 other identical robots.

Agreed, however, had the film been true to the original story, it is unlikely that 99% of the viewing public would have understood it and hence whilst it would most likely have achieved "cult" status, it would probably not have been a commercial success.

They make movies like that to generate income, nothing more. Simply playing to the market.

I'm surprised that you expected a big budget movie to be anything other than the usually hollywood "big on visual entertainment and action scenes but with a watered down plot" to be honest.

Taken like that, I robot was decent enough.

i made the wife watch it as she was pissing me off and i thought it might "teach her a lesson"

however it simply reminded me (and ecucated her) of the fact this film is complete and utter drivvel from start to finish

so bad Will Smith did'nt even bother to shoot his gun sideways!!
