just recently saw AI and really detested it. why is it the teddy bear is allways the clever one? |
||||||||

I kinda liked it....saw it a couple of days ago... But yeah, speilberg kinda ruined it...it could have been a lot darker & thought provoking and altho there were some elements of that to it, it tried too hard to be a "film for all the family" & some of the more interesting points of the story were just glossed over with smaltz (sp?).... Worth watching but not a great movie... |

I liked Ministry's little bit in it. Could there have been a more fitting band there? I don't think so. Aside from that, someone should have been there to yell NOOOOOOO!!! when Speilberg suggested making a Kubrick film. |

i was extremely disappointed when i saw this in the cinema - apart from some nice special effects and jude law, it was crap - i would have loved to have had kubrick live long enough to direct it in the stead of spielberg |

I almost bought the double DVD yesterday and put it back on the shelf - I decided I wait till it was shown on Sky, and then I'd decide.... Interesting..... |

It is not a sci-fi movie. It is a romantic crap. |

The ending sucks, a lot of it was very good though. Overall I would have to say its a good movie, because some parts of it made me feel like I was on lots of acid, you know that bugged out movie feeling you get so seldomly (or often from Kubrick) where you leave the theatre like feeling like fucked up... The first have of the movie posed a lot of interesting questions to me. There were several plot holes though, one of which was that it was left somewhat unexplained that there was this FLESH FAIR post-apocalyptic future where crime is rampant and everything is dirty and on fire that many movies portray the not too distant future as. And then like several miles away there was this quaint little suburbia where soccer moms are having birthday partie barbecues with all the neighborhood kids. I didn't really quite get that. |

i liked it, not the best speilberg movie though... cant wait till Minority Report is out!! Its based on a Philip K Dick strory and the premise is really good. anyway i think AI will be regarded better in the future as was with 2001 |

AI looks like a stinking turd next to 2001: a space odyssey... |

that lady was a real bitch for abandoning that robot kid (dont recall his name) after she did that love thing to him that's prolly what bothered me most about it |

industrial visions of the future always seem dated as soon as they are released. i used to want cinematic translations of philip k dick's work, but i don't think they work well - unless you got someone like the Coen brothers to make it with a smallish budget and minimal special effects thus being able to focus on the actual philosophy... after all, the science aspect of philip k dick was almost secondary to the story - he was a modern philosopher rather than a charter of possible tomorrows. |

yea, the philosophy imo is key. |

do the teddy bears act like they do in akira, all crazy, ive never seen AI and can't be arsed anyway |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
nope, theres just 1 short robot teddy who's got the characteristics of a wise man |

I kind of liked it. It looked good , didn't care much for the story though. Didn't cunningham design most of the robots? |
||||||||
|

I thought AI was excellent. Aside from the beautiful imagery and music, it's a great story. Everyone thinks it's too sappy at the end. Well, it's supposed to be; it's a fairy tale. And it's not really a very happy ending when you think about it. got the dvd the day it came out. |

i dont think cunningham developed the robots, but it would be nice if there was a full length indy film by cunningham imo |

He sad he spent two years in cubricks house building robots for the movie? |

the story is great? there is nothing original to the story - they merely took an old stock storyline and made the boy an AI-machine, that's all. even then, in a science fiction context, that is nothing special or original - maybe to some young restless hick it was mindblowing. i found monsters, inc to be more emotional and involving - with a great premise and a great storyline |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Monsters inc. is good too. Anything by Pixar is excellent. I appreciated AI for what it was. Yes, the story contained elements that have been covered before, but AI isn't the only movie that does that. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Are you calling xlr a young restless hick? : ) I didn't like the story much iether. But the imagery was nice me thinks. |
||||||||

|
the humans make a bunch of robots to replace themselves because of their own foolish mistakes. they should have made an effort to fix the environment; well, that would have been more realistic anyway (or no?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as i stated, the special effects in it are great - but i was frustrated, because they were used in a film that was junk - a bit of kubrick estrangement would have made this film...but spielberg just has to pander to mr and mrs joe america (have you read easy riders raging bulls? - great book) |
