The Triangle (2005)
old premise
Did any Star Trek watch this? Time/space rip gets bigger and bigger, secret govt agency tries to stop it but is really the cause of the whole thing because a time warp thing works backwards. Already done by the next generation trek thing. Nice dress up of a Star Trek episode. Pretty good acting tho' and enough confusion with the visions thing to keep us from seeing it right off. Come on Sci-Fi channel get original. I wish the Sci-Fi Channel would come up with some real new story lines. They either do a real hokey job with their movies or they get good acting with stale story lines, Why don't they try fresh story lines AND good acting???? They should have put their money into something like resurrecting Firefly. Original story line ( OK but but with a campy twist) and good characters and acting. It's like politics the good guys can't get elected.
I, Robot (2004)
Asimov would have been proud
I wrote this review late because I didn't see this movie 'til now(1/5/04) but after seeing it and reading all the reviews I have to tell you that no critic I read had a clue what I, robot was supposed to be about. I, Robot was never a "book" or a "novel" that could be made into a movie. It was a huge number of short stories that dealt with having robots become a part of everyday life and evolve into something more than man meant them to be.
This movie captured everything that Asimov put forth in his stories. I won't get into a long drawn out defense of my opinion. The ones that grew up reading the I,robot stories know what I'm talking about and the critics that didn't have no right to even try to compare it to them.
If they want to critique the movie for itself, fine. But for them to reference Asimov's stories in their reviews just shows their ignorance and self importance.
I, as a childhood reader of Asimov's sci-fi, was thrilled to see all of his stories brought together so well in a single movie.
