Dunno, but I loved Solaris - the whole visual/sound experience really
did it for me. In contrast I got bored by the Tarkovsky version! I
Robot will be another Will Smith, men in black, wild wild west,
hollywood film for kids.

Who's directing the film? It may end up the same disaster as
Hollywood's "Solaris" -- Average movie goers got bored by it,
fans of Tarkovsky's version despised it, and fans of
Stanislaw Lem's book hated it ( many of them felt Tarkovsky's
version fell short as well ). But since Will Smith is doing
the action, maybe average movie goers will like "I Robot".

I saw the previews of "I Robot" recently. I don't know what
to make of
it. On one hand I'm happy that major studios have finally
taken up an
Asimov classic SciFi story and made a movie out of it. On the other
hand, I'm afraid of what they'll do to the original story. Given
Hollywood's appetite for shallowness and special effects, and adding
Will Smith as the major character, the end result is sure to
dissapoint,
but I'm keeping my mind open just in case.
