From some of the pics I've seen online, it appears as if this film takes place in future Chicago. Yet this film is being made in Vancouver. As a suburbanite living in the Chicagoland area, that's sad. Hollywood doesn't seem to like the Windy City. So much that Miramax filmed the Academy Award winning "Chicago" in Toronto.

Well, I really like the idea of a movie adaptation of the story. The problem for me is that Will Smith was cast in the lead. That just doesn't work for me. Sure, he's a good actor in action/comedies but he just was not meant to be in a movie adaptation of an Asimov book. It just does not work.

It doesn't matter where they film it, virtually the entire film will be computer generated, including the backgrounds; so who gives a ****?

it's sad. apart from the plot, inspired by asimov's book ( brilliant ), and the special effects, everithing else it's a sad attempt to recreate asimov's universe. buildings like those i have seen also in minority report, cars also. But the one and only character that made me want to see the movie ,Susan Calvin, was destroyed by the screenplay, and by the director, who obviously did not understand , or read all of Asimov's books. Sussan Calvin is not in this movie. And anyone hwo read I Robot will feel the same. And it made me sad. eM. Romania.

I thought the movie was very good but have to agree that one could have done a much better job by sticking to Isaac Asimov book. Dr Susan Calvin who's the pivotal figure in the book is not cast properly in the movie and that was my greatest disappointment. Altough of minor importance I want to specify that the NS robots (in the book) were used only on a remote asteroid called HyperBase to assist a research team building an hyperdrive engine for interstellar travels. (see http://homepage.mac.com/j
hjenkins/Asimov/Stories/S
tory152.html ). These robots had the first law radically modified to let scientists work in hazardous conditions where otherwise the robots would continuously come in a rush to rescue them. One the finest episodes of the Robot saga. Of course movies are rarely as good as the books they are taken from but I suppose it would be possible nowaday to do a series of sequels in which the screenplay would stick more consistentlly to the original story. THAT would be great.

I don't agree. I think this movie's realy good, even though it almost has nothing to do with the book. And I think Sonny's cool!

For those who don't know me (which means for most of you), I have to tell you I'm the galaxy's biggest Gollum fan! If anyone else thinks he's cute, please write to me so I can see I'm not the only one and show my friends that I'm not totally crazy...
