It was a movie that REALLY worked to portray the characters as WHOLE human beings, I really liked that movie. I have no problem admitting that it made me cry a bit... Robin Williams can be the MOST amazing actor, but he can also screw up a part faster than anyone....

'Millenium Man' was an incredible short story by Issac Asimov, it was not a comedy- it was just a long string of tragedy, Robin Willams turned it into a TRAVESTY- I was very angry after I rented that movie....
