**Don't read this unless you've seen the film**



Well I went to see AI on Saturday after with a few friends. I had spent some of Saturday reading opinions from Dooyoo members and most were happy with the film apart from the ending so I agreed with my friends to go along and see it.

£5.70 to get in, now i'm not a student things seem to be a lot more expensive.

The start of the film was good with the way it explained why they were going to build these 'robot' children.

Hayley Joel Osment is a very good actor and will go far i'm sure. In this he showed us his freaky side. He portrayed a 'robot' child very well and acted the way you might except a robot child to behave.

The parents took to him very quickly especially as they already had a child who up until a few days before they spent a large amount of time with, reading to him and trying to do all they could to bring him back.

When the other child did appear in the film he was quickly becoming very much an evil kid considering he had appeared to have been in a coma for quite a while.

I liked the way he understood the mother and when she was angry, etc. I.e when she left him in the forest although initially he didn't understand he did come around to the fact that he wasn't wanted.

Then the journey. Good idea to follow Pinnocchio (?) did and try to find the blue fairy. Jude Law was very good as his lover robot friend. And they made a good pairing.

When they got to Manhattan about 700 feet under water level. Possibly a little too much, even with the polar ice caps melting.

So David found his way to the Blue Fairy and found other David's. Film still very good. Jumped off the building to accomplise his mission, to make his mum love him as a real boy.
Film could have now ended. However it didn't, David found the Fairy. Film still didn't end
.

Now what happened? People slowly started walking out only a couple every 4-5 minutes but slowly people were getting bored.

This was a clever ending but not very in keeping with the film. Surely some humans would have survivied. I mean it may have been freezing on the surface but they seem to do OK in StarTrek. If they can build realistic robot children they must have been able to survive only about 20 generations underground away from the Ice. How did the world freeze over so quickly, 2000 years is a fair while but there was no sign of the sun being destroyed so where did the ice age come from considering we are experiencing global warming, surely it didn't reverse. So many unanswered questions. How did they find the ship in all that ocean. How the hell did they bring David back so quickly.

Anyway here it became Spielberg and a bit fantastical. More questions, how did his mum manage to last exactly one day when they said that she couldn't occupy the same time space as she had before or something. Surely she should not have even been able to come back. And what if she had collapsed unconscious would she have died or whould she have been OK.??????

To end - I enjoyed the film overall, good acting, good story idea, great sets, but what happened at the end??????
