I have read "I, Robot". I like "I, Robot" a lot.
Judging from the trailers, that... THING of a movie is NOT "I, Robot"! It looks and feels like "Blade Runner: The Next Generation". I like Blade Runner, but early cyberpunk is not the same as early robotics stories. What in the world are these Hollywood guys trying to do?!? "Suggested by the classic short story collection by Isaac Asimov" my foot!
If they wanted a crime drama based on Asimov's works, why didn't they look at something like "Caves of Steel".
GAH! It all makes me feel very upset that one of my favorite books gets trashed like this. This is why I hate modern media. "I, Robot" would work much better as a TV series than as a movie because it's a SHORT STORY COLLECTION, not a novel.
Logic, people... logic.
Asimov is probably spinning in his grave.
