Aqua-Soft ForumsAlien Vs. Predator
It's Isaac Asimov <_< I've seen this trailer and this movie seems to be a total sacrilege + blasphemy to me. They made a primitive (director's interpretation of Asimov's three laws simply made me puke) action movie with Will Smith (>.<) out of a great sf novel. Yes, I can tell it from the trailer.
wow, they're finally doing Alien Vs. Predator. People have been talking about that for years.
I, Robot looks amazing. I see no Blasphemy, (Blasphemy is someing claiming they're God). This movie kind of reminds me of the Animatrix.
if they butcher AvP im gonna blow up... (damnit terrorists already got all the good ones) something......
i dont think we have to worry Ls, from the trailers ive seen of avp, it looks like its gonna kick boody. the predators look amazing, like they redid all the special effects with the predator, like there cloke and there vision.
the directer said it would be like old school aliens, with the suspense and all.
its probably my most looked forward to movie of the year.

I knew that we weren't going to get a film out of the "I, Robot" collection, since it is merely a bunch of shorts, all of which are not the sort of thing that can be put on film.
But when I read a bit about the premise, I thought we might be getting an adaption of Asimov's "Caves of Steel," which IS something that can be made into a movie without a whole lot of corruption.
What with the whole detective investigating a robot murder and all...
I figured the name thing was just to sell tickets. "I, Robot" is cool name, while "The Caves of Steel," is not a cool name.
But it doesn't look like we are even getting that.
A pity.
i agree with pe7er. asmiov's robots would never have gone crazy and just kill people, as seen in the trailer. the robots in asmiov's books always forllow the 3 rules. ggrrr... this movie trailer made me very upset.
i hope i'm not being disrespectful to die hard isaac asimov fans (hey i was close the first time), but hey, it's hollywood--and to entertain the masses which now have diminishing attention spans, you're going to need tons of explosions and special effects.
i mean, think about movies nowadays; they're either remakes or sequels (jeepers creepers 2?? who the hell saw jeepers creepers 1). i was actually really excited that they decided to make a movie based on asimov's short stories. yeah, they'll be bastardized, but can you really name a movie that stays true to the novel it spawned from?
that having been said, i still think it looks awesome. but then again, so did minority report and i was as disappointed with that movie as pearl harbor and AI.
Swisher, check out "Mother Night," based on the Kurt Vonneguy novel of the same name. It is very honest! It's got Alan Arkin!!
Also, the dreamy Sheryl Lee:

2 great movies, about time. Combined with "hellsing" and "hellboy", 4 movies to watch this year.
Not all movies based off books should be exact copies, i prefer variations. Read all the "Bourne" books and still enjoyed the movie. I don't know who this Azimov guy is, don't really care. Give me a movie, i don't know anything about the book so it doesn't taint my viewing experience. Never read "Potter" or "LOTR", great movies. What ever you purists say.

That's exactly what I thought - it's exactly like the Renaissance episodes.
Gonna go see it, even if it is nothing like the book, which was great.
