Ro-bots on film, Ro-bots on film ...

The New York Times has posted another review of I, Robot. This one, by A. O. Scott, is called "The Doodads Are Restless in Chicago." (Yesterday's "Critic's Notebook" story by Edward Rothstein was "For Asimov, Robots Were Friends. Not So for Will Smith.") Scott's line is that we've been warned over and over again that robots are taking over the world, but nobody seems to be taking the threat very seriously. His (?) mistake is that people who take the threat seriously just don't take the movies about the threat seriously. I think.
