…but its robot designs were well ahead of the curve for the time.
Ok, I’ll go:
The Will Smith I, Robot movie took its title from the classic Issac Asimov imagining of a future of robots that coexist productively with humans due to his Three Laws of Robotics. Asimov’s work is an optimistic statement on the power of science and reasoning to construct a utopian world. The Will Smith movie instead delivers a message of “Robots R Bad And Will Kill U All”, completely disregarding the whole point of the source material. They could have named it something else since it had almost nothing in common with the actual book, but instead they chose to take a giant dump on Asimov’s legacy.
