    Is iRobot worth watching? I know that Will Smith is a great actor and I’ve seen many memes about it.

      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.

      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.

      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.
