Just saw A.I. All i can say was that it was the worst movie i've seen in quite awhile. I wasn't all that excited to see it (i wanted to watch The Fast and The Furious again) but i did want to eventually catch it some time down the road. Either way, i was expecting something pretty deep and entertaining considering the subject matter. The websites, the games, the movie poster...everything seemed geared toward a pretty impressive product. One worry i had was that Spielberg would take Kubrick's idea and make it super sappy.



Guess what AI was? Super sappy. And long. And horribly directed. It was definitelly interesting at times but Spielberg just dragged things on and on and then shifted gears between plot points so quickly that you were left lurching. By the end of the movie i was shaking my head just waiting for it to end. I can't believe that a great director like Spielberg could of made this movie. It's hard to imagine that this is the movie Kubrick envisioned. Jude Law and Haley Joel Osment were really good but the movie itself was just horrendous. It didn't go deep enough into any of the interesting issues and at the same time didn't provide a "fantasy" story to the full extent either. The best i could hope to say of this movie would be that it is a "modern fairy tale." But that's stretching it. The whole Pinocchio theme was bludgeoned in too. And i wont't even go into all the logical gaps involved in the design of the movie's "artificial intelligence". Anyhow...would be very very interested to hear from anyone who enjoyed the movie alot.
