most people who have see this movie be of the opinion that it be average at best . indeed there be no complicated plot and no big action scene and a predictable end but there be a story . it andrew with his box of chocolats and simply go through life search for what elude him and what we generally take for grant humanity . the character along the way be well act in particular the robot creator and his ditsy assistant . this movie be a tear jerker a andrew friend come and go and lifetimes pass him by without him really comprehend it all . the only real failing be the large gap in time and how andrew come about but then it difficult to compress 200 year into 1 half hour . if you enjoy azimov book as much a i do and then this movie be for you . far well in my opinion than ia or i robot who also take their cue from azimov .
