What, no computer-generated action sequences? What are these robots gonna do - sit around and talk for two hours? Asimov fans around the world are appalled at the betrayal of the master's creed but there is some consolation: the movie is not bad and it's very much about the Three Laws. He left behind about 500 books and in almost none does a robot break the First Law.įollowing this rule would have been a challenge for any producer. His robot stories were formulated in direct opposition to it. He thought the war of Machines versus Men, the idea that filled the sci-fi comics he read as a kid, was a cliche. Thus, in I, Robot, we have Will Smith, as a hunky Chicago homicide detective in 2035, assaulted by first one robot then truckloads of them almost killed in a house razed by a monster demolition robot and chased all over town by angry robots whose chests glow red with revolutionary zeal (bolshie-bots, sort of).Īsimov, who died in 1992, must be turning in whatever afterlife science-fiction writers progress to.
