just saw ai

It was merely OK ... same with I, Robot, and yes, I'm a science fiction fan. The book for I, Robot is far superior.

I just watched the movie AI, and I thought it was very, very good. I had read almost nothing about it, just seemed to remember that some people told me its reviews were so so. The funny thing is that the 20 minute tacked on ending was so obviously out of place and added by Spielberg, that I realized that was the case without having any background knowledge at all. I'd also guess a lot of the stuff at the flesh fair was Spielberg (the music video style for a lot of it, the blacklight motorcycle guys). Obviously most people probably thought the same thing, but even my little brother who is 12 was like, "what was with the last part of that? It was ouit of place." I still have no idea who had the most control over the movie, so maybe it was spielberg all the way, but I doubt it.

The last part was actually in Kubrick's original script and it seemed very much in place to me (it reminded me a lot of the ending in 2001: A Space Oddessy)

I loved the movie and its ending. The ending actually brought tears.

I had a hard time dealing with the little kid begging his mom not to get rid of him- that was really heart wrenching. Also, my take on the ending was that those weren't aliens, but evolved androids. They had outlived the human race and became the dominant species, which is ironic because they were always treated as inferior by humans.

I thought it was good...the whole love thing between the child and mom got old really fast but it made sense for what the movie was trying to say. The music was great though.

I'm pretty sure that's what was intended. I never even condsidered that they could be aliens.

This is one of best movies ever.

I robot on the other hand is a super crap holly^ood morph shoot flick.
Those movies should not even be compared here.

And btw, the AI's ending was pretty awesome, IMO.

Having an engineering degree, it is just too difficult for me to believe robot emotions and really get into that movie. They're robots, they're machines, the feelings are completely artifical.

 

[PingSpike]

I thought AI was pretty good, but it had like 500 endings IIRC.

 

[BudAshes]

AI was cool for the first 1.5 hours. Too bad there was an extra hour of nonsensical sh!t at the end.

Yeah, everyone I talk to says "What's the deal with those aliens exploring everywhere?" They never made the connection.

They were definitly machines originally developed by humans. Although, perhaps they are what the humans became after thousands of years? I can certainly see that happening through further melding of man and machine.

As for the movie, I thought it was good. It's more thought provoking than most movies in this country, not the style generally accepted as "good", which is often crap.

Mercifully I passed out halfway through the movie. My friends were not so lucky. They wanted to gouge out their eyes with rusty plastic sporks and take a coat hanger through both ears to remove any brain matter that might have neural connections to any part or sound of that movie.

Heheh...nothing like a good old fashioned ATOT exageration. People here can't simply say "I didn't care for the movie." They have to say something like "That movie was the big steaming crap left behind when a terrible script ate untalented actors! The absolute worst thing my retinas have ever collected light from!"

Let me know how the search for rusty plastic works out.
