I generally agree, and also that it's impossible to take a book to video without change. I tend to try to think of it like this, imagine Bob and Jim watched a battle scene, but one from the west, the other from the east side. Bob wrote the book, Jim the movie.

Naturally, although it was the same battle, they'll have seen different things up close, and have different views on the battle overall.

Having said that...

It's like someone wrote the Foundation movie three generations after the book was written, turned into a play, and then told over the campfire for decades.

It literally has no more connection with Asimov's works, than Star Wars is like Star Trek. All of the technology is different, the size of the Empire is wildly different, literally almost nothing maps.

Is it good? Yes, sorta. But it's not Foundation, by any stretch. It's not even remotely in the same "world".
