For those of you who forgotten about A.I., here it is courtesy of the Wiki:-A.I. Artificial Intelligence was a 2001 American science fiction film written, directed, and produced by Steven Spielberg, and based on Brian Aldiss’s short story, Super-Toys Last All Summer Long. The film stars Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law, Sam Robards, Frances O’Connor, Brendan Gleeson, and William Hurt. Set sometime in the future, A.I. tells the story of David, a childlike android uniquely programmed with the ability to love.-Development of A.I. originally began with director Stanley Kubrick in the early 1970s. Kubrick hired a series of writers up until the mid-1990s, including Brian Aldiss, Bob Shaw, Ian Watson, and Sara Maitland. The film languished in development hell for years, partly because Kubrick felt computer-generated imagery was not advanced enough to create the David character, whom he believed no child actor would believably portray. In 1995, Kubrick handed A.I. to Spielberg, but the film did not gain momentum until Kubrick’s death in 1999. Spielberg remained close to Watson’s film treatment for the screenplay. The film was greeted with generally favorable reviews from critics and grossed approximately $235 million. A small credit appears after the end credits, which reads “For Stanley Kubrick".
Have it on BluRay! Watched it once and may never watch it again. It was a 15 minute event covering 146 minutes!.Only bought it because of Haley Joel Osment and I enjoyed him in “The Sixth Sense” and especially “Pay It Forward”…

And it was too long, by just about its running length.

A lot of movies these days are too long. The Wolf of Wall Street is 3 hours of incessant curse words.

AI was Kubrick-esque until the robot fell into the water; after that it was a Spielberg ending to a Kubrick movie. Better without the ending.
