You have his 3 laws of robotics in his book: I, Robot A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. Asimov Law Ratings IMDB – 6.2/10 IGN verdict: A sci-fi with brains as well as brawn, Automota gives Antonio Banderas a juicy film noir role and in spite of the odd poor performances and dodgy piece of dialogue, the film works as an entertaining rumination on man’s relationship with technology and increasing reliance on machines. Metacritic – 37% I will watch this movie but have to wait a couple of days (Singapore release is 16/10) What about you? Did you already watch it? What did you think about it? Leave us a comment.
