I read the book first a long time back and felt very cheated.

good action, decent plot, made you think
I like when movies make you think.
There were a couple loose ends but the story was mostly solid plenty of twists.

I liked the robots fighting, it was so lethal and soulless, you never see stuff like that.
The futuristic world they created I thought was very good too, not cheesy or overdone like alot of movies do. Well thought out and realistic. Good special effects too. That Audi was slammed though. :exnbp:

I dont get why it was necessary to see Will Smith's ass in the first 5 mintues though :ugh: But I was surprised he actually starred in a movie that turned out good without the help of a strong co-actor.
