Bicentennial Man

Pros: Touching story of one's journey to find acceptance in the human race.
Cons: Not terribly realistic, but then it's sci fi!

A few years ago, I watched "Bicentennial Man", starring Robin Williams, for the first and until tonight, only time. I really consider it one of the best films ever made, but had not had the chance to watch it again until tonight, when it was on the ...

Pros: An excellent look at what it means to be "human"
Cons: To slow for the action oriented crowd

When I first heard about this film, I thought it was simply going to be another Robin Williams movie acting like some kind of crazed living cartoon character, ala Rainbow Randolph (Death to Smootchy) or Mork from Ork. So, I didn't choose to watch this...

Pros: Very thought provoking movie that is also funny
Cons: Slow in parts

Robots have appeared in many forms throughout the entertainment industry ranging from mechanical dogs (Dr Who), psychotic love robots (Outer Limits) to the more loveable almost human robots (Data in Star Trek). Man is fascinated with robots and there is...

Pros: A story that tells of the human, and not-so-human condition.
Cons: The story line drags a bit.

We are all very much aware of what technology has done to improve and complicate our lives. There is no doubt that computers have made a great deal of difference in the lifestyles of people in the last 20 years. One has to ask, what will be next great...

Pros: A movie that resembles Asimov´s books, some funny points
Cons: Way too long, changed the plot

I am a great fan of Asimovīs books, and 'The Bicentennial Man' is one of my favourite stories, despite its shortness(its a typical SHORT story).

When I first heard that there will be a movie based on the book, I was trembling of anticipation....

Pros: Robin Williams, Oliver Platt, they didn't completely hack the original story to death
Cons: Excessive silliness (showcasing William's improv), predictable, they hacked up the original somewhat

First of all - no matter how close a movie gets to the original story, there will never be anything exactly how "it should be". With that said, I believe that Bicentennial Man, starring Robin Williams in the title role, is a wonderful...

Pros: Special message, lost somewhere in the faulty circuit board.
Cons: Weak in action, movement and script-left me bored as toast.

Knock, knock. Who's there? An Android. An Android who?
An Android who couldn't save a bland movie with all the replacement parts in China.

Bicentennial Man based on a short story by Isaac Asimov, is the tale of a unique...

Pros: Sam Niell and Embeth Davidtz-Good
Cons: Schmaltzy crud-Bad

Why why why!

I loved the book of Bicentennial Man. It was insightful, it had a good premise, a masterpiece of the science fiction genre.

I HATED THE FILM.

For a start, there is a love story. Why does every film have to...

Pros: Robin Williams
Cons: Robin Williams trying to be a robot

I had an open mind going into this movie I thought Robin Williams is in it he would not pick a stupid worthless movie to be in. I was wrong. I felt completely robbed of the time I spent watching the movie and wished I had done anything else besides...

Pros: Robin Williams, special effects
Cons: None

I don't know how this movie got past me at the theaters, but I am sure glad that I caught it when it got to video. What a fine motion picture this is.

Lately Robin Williams has been getting involved in movies that have a lot of heart ('What...

Pros: This is an excellant film with many funny parts.
Cons: None.

The Bicentennial man is a family story about a robot who has human feelings. A family buy the robot thinking he can help with meals, tidying up and general domestic chores around the house. Little do they realise at this time that the robot is going to...

Pros: A movie that can grow on you and become a much loved one
Cons: none that I can think of

I can remember when Robin Williams used to be known for his comedy, but no one ever thought of him as a serious actor until he started to take roles like the Fisher King and What Dreams May Come. Bicentennial Man was one of those movies that I ended up...

Pros: Some laughter, some tears
Cons: none

When I saw the trailers for this movie a long time ago, I expected this movie to be a little more on the comedic side. Instead, we get a movie that's about an android longing to be human. It's based on an Isaac Asimov story, so the android, quickly...

Pros: wonderful and touching
Cons: can't think of one

I saw Bicentennial Man because I am a Sci-Fi buff - I'm also a romantic! This movie beautifully fused both aspects into a touching, funny, sad, romantic movie. Completely different from what I thought it was - but wonderfully surprised.

...

Pros: The touching plot and idea of the entire film
Cons: Nothing that I can really think of

BICENTENNIAL MAN is a heart warming story about the curious android that hoped to one day be accepted as a human. This movie goes deep into the heart of a very different android... An android that has gone farther than any other. Unlike other manmade...
