Is iRobot worth watching? I know that Will Smith is a great actor and I’ve seen many memes about it.
Yeah it’s a decent early 2000s sci-fi action yarn.
It’s a good flick, I enjoyed it
If you’re an avid Asimov fan, you should know it’s only loosely related to the iRobot stories.
Enjoyed it
Is iRobot worth watching?
That, detective, is the right question.
I liked it just fine!
I know there are a lot of Asimov diehards that found it disappointing. I don’t know why. The iRobot book wasn’t even really a book, it was a collection of short stories. Not exactly an easy thing to adapt to a movie.
The movie basically goes “there are 3 laws of robotics” and then its just action schlock the rest of the way. Also, iirc, it’s basically a car commercial too. I think it could have explored the themes of the book more, but I dunno.
My wife enjoys it and I don’t mind it? I’d say worth a watch.
I remember really liking it, when I first saw it, but I was in high school, at the time.
It’s a film (like many at the time) that’s much more influenced by the impact of 9/11 than Asimov.
You’ll probably be entertained though (it’s certainly still a competently made film) so I’d say watch it; that way you can know what others are referring to and be in on the cultural zeitgeist.
