I finally saw AI-Artificial Inteligence last night. It was a monumental work with great design and effects. I think its on the same scale as 2001.
But ARRRGH... the ending!!!!! it was sooo disapointing. I think I would have prefered if the film ended with the boy staring at the statue.
On the whole, the film had many touching moments, especially between david and his mom. But a little too dark for too long. I liked that woman seducing gigilo robot guy with a click of his head became a stereo system. He was good. An interesting companion that stole the show.
But I think the film really shold have ended with the boy frozen in time. The ressurection of the mother seemed like it was hastily done. How could her mother not notice that nothing else outside her house exists still? I mean a whole day passed without her noticing the world out her window.
I also don't understand why the mother had to die. Why not give the boy eternity with her memories? I mean we are already in the fantastical future. Why not allow a more happy ending?
I have to give this a
