this movie was a good. some parts i was a little unclear on though because i haven't read the novel. will smith did a good job and there was lots of action and the way they did the robots was excellent.

Do yourself a very big favour and read the original!!!

I haven't seen the movie, but based on the trailer, the only thing they kept was the name. I reread the book last month.

(Yes, I'll see the movie, but it's not Asimov's I Robot.)

Asmiov wrote the book because he was tired of the "robots run amuck" story. Hence, the three rules, which truly are inviolate. The stories are about how, even with those rules, there can be problems -- intellectual ones, and even some violent ones. They're detective and psychological and trouble-shooting stories, not action.

So, please, do read the book as well.

Finally reread the book a few weeks ago. And, it didn't have a plot.

It was ?nine? short stories, in chronological order. And they were spread out over several decades -- from the very start of robotics to something that could become very dystopian in another decade, if Asimov were that type of author

The book's now old enough that it's not "that's not right for this year", but rather "what an imagination he had back then".
