I saw the latest summer blockbuster, iRobot last night. I'm not well-read enough in Asimov to determine how close it is to his book, but the movie was entertaining. I have a feeling the disclaimer "Suggested by the book by Isaac Asimov" means that the title is the same, and they both had robots...
I wonder if the droids in Star Wars are 3 laws compliant? Certainly not for IG-88 and 4-LOM (bounty hunter droids). What about Data and Lore? Did Dr. Soongh implement the 3 laws?
As for iRobot, they should have used this album for the official movie soundtrack:
Kraftwerk - The Mix
| Track Title | Artist | Album | Genre |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Robots | Kraftwerk | The Mix | Electronica/Dance |
| Computerlove | Kraftwerk | The Mix | Electronica/Dance |
| Pocket Calculator | Kraftwerk | The Mix | Electronica/Dance |
| Dentaku | Kraftwerk | The Mix | Electronica/Dance |
| Autobahn | Kraftwerk | The Mix | Electronica/Dance |
| Radioactivity | Kraftwerk | The Mix | Electronica/Dance |
| Trans Europe Express | Kraftwerk | The Mix | Electronica/Dance |
| Abzug | Kraftwerk | The Mix | Electronica/Dance |
| Metal On Metal | Kraftwerk | The Mix | Electronica/Dance |
| Home Computer | Kraftwerk | The Mix | Electronica/Dance |
| Musik Non Stop | Kraftwerk | The Mix | Electronica/Dance |
The opening credits of the movie could have used "The Robots", the big car chase scene "Autobahn", the love angst scenes with "Computer Love", the home delivery of the new N-5's with "Home Computer", and the revolution with "Radioactivity". Finally, the end credits could have used "Musique Non-Stop".
Speaking of end credits, where was Will Smith's new catchy tune? Maybe he should have done a cover of The Robots by Kraftwerk...
