Review of Robot Stories

Robot Stories (2003)
9/10
Asimov would be proud!
19 August 2005
As a young teen, I was lifted to delight by Isaac Asimov and his robot stories. The late Isaac Asimov was president of The Humanist Society, succeeded by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. As a scientist and a humanist, Asimov used the frame of the robot story to illuminate human nature.

Greg Pak goes a long way towards filling the Olympian shoes left by Asimov. In a very gentle, but textured, way, he uses "far-fetched" premises to examine subtle emotional events that are so close to us that they normally escape our notice.

For a young film-maker, Pak has a firm grasp of sketching the subtlety of human feelings with an economy of style and an ability to direct actors to express them. I anxiously await his further artistic endeavors.
