Is it still a somewhat hard sci-fi or has it been turned into a fantasy flick?
- neaden 5y agoI would say it's as hard as the original novel, which has FTL travel and psychic powers.
- goatlover 5y agoWould an entirely new branch of mathematics that predicts the future count as hard science fiction?
- johnchristopher 5y agoBarely, since neither Asimov nor the TV show writers, have spent 60% of the material on explaining how it actually works.
- stevenwoo 5y agoIn the span of ten minutes they restore the artificial gravity on a derelict spacecraft then they walk into a room on that same ship that has large open vats of some dangerous liquid that people fall into and die.

- phh 5y agoFeels way too fantasy to me. Though only the first book didn't have fantasy parts (imo. and I don't feel like it was required). And possibly, most of the fantasy parts will be explained in the tv show, and we'll end very small fantasy elements, but I'm expecting to be disappointed there.
