I dont think the movie plot was anywhere near being finished before he Passed away and Spielburg it over at Kubrick's Wifes request. Thats why it seems so disjoined and why there seems to be two different styles of movie making going on.

Oh that's why! Makes sense now!

This is one of those movies, after you see it, you have to think about it, to see if you like it. I thought it was good, until the water scence. Even now, I am not sure if I liked it....

Kubrick said that he wanted Speilberg to direct it. I didn't think David's story was as interesting as Gigolo Joe's though. I would have been happy with a movie that followed that. There's a lot of social implications to inventing computers that intelligent, and I think that's the more relevant story. Joe had a line that summed it up pretty well, "They made us too smart, too fast, too many, and now they don't know what to do with us."
I had a lot of fun trying to keep up with the Cloudmaker project, and the future that the game worked in was <I>very</I> interesting.

the bear was cool, and one of the best elements of the movie... i could just see it wandering around with a cig in its paw... or possibly a beer in the other...

as much as i do generally dislike that kid, he did a good job in that movie as an android... scary even...

as sad as the first ending was, it was the best for the movie... the evolved machines ending was just... ermm... i udnno, didn't fit with the rest of the movie...

hehe, right after seeing the movie a friend said, "thank you for playing, you are now mind f**ked".

I was hoping the bear would go crazy and kill the kid when the heli-sub got stuck, would have made for a better ending IMO.

very average movie

The highlights for me was the way it portrayed humans in many of the films situations I.e the couples lack of responsibility in giving a AI robot emotions so that she was imprinted as its mother or the Circus scene where humans seek entertainment in watching robots destroyed. I found both disturbing and the scene near the end where he finds that all he has been designed for is a blue print for mass production.

This film painted some unpleasant scenes of human fear, greed and irresponsibility. All in all a good film spoiled by Disneyesque scenes.
