From the trailers, this movie seems to have nothing to do with I, Robot the book, except for the three laws, and the name.
This movie seems to go against stories in that Robots cannot attack humans as seen in the trailer. I bet this movie will be as crappy as that movie adaptation of "The Bicentennial Man".
I'm not sure wheter Asimov's stories will make for good films, as they employ a lot of dialog, and intellectual stuff and are definately not action orientated.
A better book to choose for adaptation would have been any of the Eliah Baley series, or the Foundation series, and perhaps they could actually do a faithful reproduction of Asimov's stories.
Here are the resons that I think the latest Star Trek is doing so poorly:
1. Berman and Bragga are not supporting the fans, but are instead, antagonizing them. The name of the show is "Enterprise", not "Star Trek: Enterprise". Yet, I find nothing that is different from regular Star Trek in Enterprise. It is the same old story, with people in a ship. NOTHING DIFFERENT. Also they hire a director for Nemesis who brags that he has never seen an episode of Star Trek before. Did I see Nemesis? No. I will not support these idiots who don't have respect for me as a fan of the series. In trying to win a larger audience they have pissed off the majority of the loyal fan base.
2. Trying to make Star Trek into something it is not. Star Trek, to me, will always be a cerebral kind of show.... yes with the occasional firefight, but the main focus will be on ideas, and dilemas, not on technology and cool spacefights, althought the first does not preclude the latter. It seems to me Berman is trying to make Star Trek into a kind of Star Wars clone, with huge battles and scifi effects, but that is not what star trek is. Nemesis, to me, seemed to be just another Star Wars wannabe.
3. Lack of interesting stories and lack of continuity. Berman seems to be intent on destroying what is accecpted as being part of the Star Trek past. Instead of exploring intersting ideas, such as the beginning of the foundation, early earth struggles, the romulan - earth war, he wants to create new crappy ideas (the suliban) that go against everything we know in the other series (where are the suliban in TNG, DS9?). Enterprises episodes are just more of: Go to Planet X, meet alien Y, discover secret Z, and a big reset at the end, with everything forgotten for all future episodes. This worked well the first time the did it (TNG) because everything was new and interesting, but now it gets boring.
4. Temporal Cold War. What the heck is it? I don't think even the writers know. The idea seems pretty ridiculous to me. I think Berman just put together some words to come up with something cool sounding.
5. T'Pol and the catsuit. Can we please stop trying to attract the teenage boy crowd. I hear they have something called the "internet" now, and they don't need Star Trek to fufill their sexual urges. geeze.
The only way to save Star Trek is to get rid of Berman, and everyone he has affected and put his stench on, namely Braga. These guys are just out to squeeze ST out of every buck they can.

most of the times it is spot on with whats wrong with the show.
all of your ideas presume that game companies actually want to help out consumers, not squeeze every dime out of them that they can. where you see portable games they see piracy. where you see convenience they see piracy. while I agree this would be a cool idea, can you actually imagine EA pausing from chruning out a new copy of madden 2004 in which all the do is change the year, to actually develop this technology.
