I thought the movie was okay, but it certainly didn't to justice to Asimov's story, The Bicentennial Man. Which is weird because it sticks pretty close to the source, but somehow doesn't work. Robin was great, and he got the tone right; I just don't think this is the kind of story that translates well to cinema.
Tomorrowland
Interesting movie that seemed like it wasn't quite sure what it wanted to be. It was definitely sci-fi, with alternate dimensions and sentient robots, but also something like fantasy, and while it starts with a rather pessimistic message and tone, I think by the end we're supposed to be turned around and see the positive outlook. Unfortunately the ending is a bit weird. I mean, I can follow what's happening, and the message is definitely supposed to be positive, but I'm not sure if they really got there.
George Clooney is top billed, but that's because he's a big star. He's second fiddle here. Hugh Laurie is next billed, but that's because Hugh Laurie is House.
The star of the movie is Britt Robertson, who I'd never heard of before this movie, and her character is a teenaged girl but the actress is 25 so that means it's okay to check her out as she runs around in tight jeans and occassionally wet clothing. Oops, I'm getting away from the plot. The plot involves alternate dimensions and sentient robots, and is a lot of fun, but I'm not sure if it had enough meat to keep people's interest for over two hours. I think it clocked in at 2:10 with credits. I watched it in two sittings, so it worked.
