Dear God people it's the title of a film. Do i hear people complaining that NS is tearing up Darwin's work because Natural Selection, which is evolution, takes place over millions of years whereas you can evolve into a completely new lifeform in under a minute in NS? No.

I know a lot of people are saying that it ruins Asimovs book but whatever. Asimov isn't really that deep nor are his books. It looks like a nice action movie with an interesting twist.

Although I will fork out money to watch this movie, I have to say on a personal note it's essentially like making a move called "The Sacrifices of Christ" and making jesus a murdering pimp and satan his ****. It just isnt kosher.

the 5.7x28mm is NOT a hard-armor round. it pierces soft armor with decent efficiency, but will not defeat thick plate.

Its not just an old sci-fi book, that would be like calling Tom Sawyer an old adventure book or Star Wars an old film. OK so it might not be quite as popular as the other two but as books go its a classic, I wouldn't have expected everyone to have heard of it but the vast majority of people on forums like these will fit into a broad stereotype and I would have expected 99% to have heard of it.
Its just a case of general knowledge, where I work we need to know about various countries, I was asked earlier in the week if Brazil was in Spain... now its better for them to ask than not to and be wrong and I didn't have a go at them as there are plenty of things that I dont know but... to not know something as fundamental as that you have to really bury your head in the sand and not pay attention...
Some people just make me want to cry.
I hope the film is good as the book is great, they may only share a title but the reputation from the film will still rub off. If the film is great then people may actually get into reading asimov more, if the film is awful then it will scare away potential readers. People have something valid to complain about although saying the film is going to be awful before watching anything but a trailer is jumping the gun a bit.
