that's fair. if the books and movie are as unrelated as you suggest then i should be just fine. what i find disappointing in other books-turned-movies are that they completely change characters personality and motives to make them more neat and packaged for the box office.

the movie I, Robot was pretty predictable. obviously Smith was going to be robotic (it turns out only partially) i figured that the human head of the corporation was involved in a global takeover, but it turns out that it was VIKI. that was a nicely executed twist. otherwise, i just thought the movie was a well done action flick. nothing great, just a good movie.

i'll have to check out the books though.
