Morlock 11 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I agree, it doesn't look too promising. But I still have some hope. Minority Report didn't look like a very good trailer to me, but I ended up loving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Some of the shots of the the room full of robots is eerily similar to footage of the droid army from The Phantom Menace. If this has a compelling story and sn't bogged down in effects it could be good. Of course I think I say that about everything nowadays.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST-321 4 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I would have to say that the movie is "loosely based" on the stories of Isaac Asimov. Except for the "Laws of Robotics" which may very well be broken in the film, not much seems to be left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Now that I saw the trailer again, it looks totaly sucky. And after such a great ad campaign , with those great teasers and great website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Why? It had a great idea, was based on a great story, and had a great teaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,346 Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 Like I said in another place, what's there to expect if they can't even make a decent trailer out of it? Look at the trailers for TPM and AOTC! I went totally nuts when I first saw the TPM trailer. At least there was enough material to make a good trailer. This looks like a truly bad MIB episode, and that happens to be the biggest insult I could make. I'm not even renting this! Proyas acted as a hired director for this! Remember the movies Ridley Scott made after the big Legend flop? ----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 In all fairness, there are some great recent movies that had sucky trailers. But this doesn't look like one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I like that they used Neodämmerung, even though the re-mix was kinda lame. Also, the whole "Robots killing people" kept reminding me of The Second Renaissance from The Animatrix.As for I, Robot, I liked the first teaser, but just looks lame. Will Smith is filmed cooler than he really is, and then I think his character really is. Not like I was going to see this film in the first place.- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Marc, as I, Robot was based on a novel by Isaac Asimov, I'm assuming that the robot's killing robot's concept was not cribbed from The Matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Ah, that explains a lot.Although the trailer did keep reminding me of the Matrix films. Neodämmerung, the way the robots jumped and landed... I hope they're not trying to imitate these films too much. Although considering the way the Matrix sequels turned out, I don't really see why you'd want to do that.- Marc, who will eventually get The Matrix Revolutions on DVD anyway.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 The movie's OK for some brainless eye candy. The extras suck major ass. Only the docu about the Freeway Chase was interesting. Oh well. At least it fills some space. :roll:- Marc Alan Silvestri - Point Of No Return (The Train, Part 3) from Back to the Future Part III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I definatly agree that the film is OK. but it's basically the first half of a longer film, and the second half is pretty piss poor.For some reason I cannot enjoy watching ONLY this film, because of the very sudden ending.Though I have never had any problems watching just TESB or BTTF II.

But the use of Neodämmerung is rather fitting. I mean you have the robots for one. But you also have the man who was supposed to be in the Matrix as Neo. lol. Isn't that something else....

Guest Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Somehow, I don't think this movie will suck, but it'll have its fans and enemies. Kinda like AI. Maybe I'm just saying that because of the robots.Dan--who smells a Westworld remake if this one takes off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morn 8 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 The trailor does indeed look interesting, it looks like a 60's or 70's sci fi movie, very typically sci fi to it's roots. Though a bit more hip. It might be very good.Proyas acted as a hired director for this!Ahh, a fellow Sydney resident. Well I liked his Dark City much.

Joe, don't even start here, there's just no need ... ) but I'm interested in seeing how they chronicle the development of robotics. I dont remember much from the Asimov story, I've got to go back and read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
