    His name is Sonny and don’t you dare call it “forgettable.” It’s a silly somewhat schlocky action sci-fi film that also brings up some really good questions about free will and AI.

      Didn’t the book do that? I mean yeah the deserves some credit for not eliminating those elements, but I think more credit should go to the book for establishing those elements in the first place

        The book was a series of short stories that really have nothing to do with the plot of the movie.

        Yeah, Asimov pioneered a lot of the philosophy within the movie, but they weren’t just wrote recitations of them.

          Well, the movie is in the spirit of the book, which is basically inventing new ways to overcome the three rules of robotics. Turns out they’re often more of a guidance than a rule.
