Had an interesting time at “A.I.” last night. There’s a lot to say about this movie, but I would hate saying it to people who hadn’t seen it. I was pleased that it was much darker than I ever expected from Spielberg, at least in the first half. I will also repeat what one reviewer said on Ain’t It Cool News: the first time you think the movie’s over, get up out of your seat and leave immediately.

I saw it today (July 4). I agree about the ending(s). In playwriting classes in college, one of the firsr things they told us was to start the story as late as possible and end it as soon as possible. Clearly Spielberg wasn’t paying attention that day. He was afraid of the darkest ending and instead opted to play with more computer graphics. Too bad.
