Ive never in my life heard or seen anyone talk about this movie. I saw it about 20 years ago, and I recently rewatched the tape. Man, it holds up. And Robins performance is so great.

If you haven’t heard of it, its a good watch. And it makes you think a little about what makes us human.

      It’s an adaptation of an Isaac Asimov short story. I found it a pretty good adaptation and Robin Williams really did a great job embodying Andrew.

        I remember not liking it because I thought it was a terrible adaptation with a bunch of Hollywood tropes and stuff added in. That was back in the 90s when I was young and overly critical about that kind of thing though, so might have been overly critical.

        It’s actually based on the novel by Asimov and Robert Silverberg, which is based on the short story. I don’t remember seeing the movie, definitely read the book and short story.
