Incredibly Sad and Haunting Cinematic Fairy Tale
16 April 2006
This movie is a magnificent achievement when you consider that there was input from both Spielberg and Kubrick. I was sure the movie would have to be very disjointed, but to Spielbergs credit it is a very cohesive picture.

This film is a cinematic fairy tale, with a great story and interesting characters. The emotional impact of the movie will probably take you by surprise, and this may have been the reason that Kubrick entrusted Spielberg with the directing duties. However, Steven Spielberg doesn't resort to cheap sentimentality to involve you emotionally.

I would expect Stanley Kubrick to be very proud of the A.I. Spielberg has produced, because when the movie ends you are left with a feeling familiar to many of Kubrick's work, an uneasy and haunting feeling.

By the way, don't be alarmed by that salty discharge flowing from your eyes, it's perfectly normal.
