Is this movie worth the price of admission or is it better to wait for the "cheap" theater release?

Trailers look good.

for them to screw it up they need a person with the mental capacity to read it...so theres no danger of that any time soon

Anyone saying "Asimov would be turning over in his grave" has not seen the movie.  It didn't follow any of his story lines, but the robot system itself was exactly how I've seen him describe it.  I think he would have liked the portrayal.  When it came to the robots, they did a very good job from all aspects.  Watch the movie and you'll see what I mean.

Of course, the hollywood hand came in with the "one man saves the world" mentality... but it was still entertaining.

It's a good flick.

Just saw this movie, its good. It almost has the same storyline to "Paycheck" in which clues are left for him to follow. I liked Paycheck better tho.

just rented and watched this movie...

really not bad i rather enjoyed it. i kept thinking the chick would turn out to be the "killer robot" in the end LOL



i'd recommend it, the robots fighting was rather cool, and the effects were not overbraring.... not tooo unrealistic.

overall enjoyable movie
I don't know what to put here yet.

im wonder how will looks like new war movie with Tom Cruise , :D


I guess you could stretch the genre a bit and call War of the Worlds a "war movie".  With Steven Spielberg directing it MIGHT make Tom Cruise watchable.  I doubt it, but it might.  He's done good job in a few movies.  I stress the word "few".  From the teaser trailer I saw, they plan on trashing this classic too.

Was pleasantly suprised by this film, it could have been far, far worse.

I thought Smith's character was faithful to some of those created by Asimov; an honest, smart, distrustful, noisemaker, strong in his principles & convictions.

Initially my thoughts were that they screwed with the 3 laws, but then recalled that there are four.
It's fuzzy, but I seem to recall Asimov did have a robot hurt a human, can't remember his name offhand, but it was a President that Susan Calvin was conviced wasn't human.  I think this was the first time he introduced the concept of actual harm vs "the greater good"

Is she a femBot?
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I missed 12.00 midnight this past New Years Eve because I fell asleep watching "I Robot".
