Mannings grip of syntax, but all in all at the end of the day it's good science fiction and a good story too. The story line takes us in and the visuals make it almost real. The visual effects are stunning and come darn close to genius. The script reflects some of the darkness and coldness that sometimes underlies each character human and machine, there is no fear of this in the story. All good science fiction has some human sensitivity in it otherwise it would just be a horror film. These two things are not entirely separate in good Science Fiction. I could, I believe see the story boards and concepts Kubrick developed and I could also see the sensitivity that Spielberg added to scenes and characters. Kubrick (who started work on the project after he read the Aldiss book in '83),and Steven Spielberg who's long list of intelligent blockbusters made him the perfect person to bring this story to the screen. A.I.'s story line and flawless visual effects reflect what I can only describe as the meeting of two great film makers. They're may have been some somewhere but I didn't see them. This film did not enjoy the normal hype that most of Spielberg's films enjoy, I think I know why. How strange to see so few people show up for a Spielberg film.
on the first night it ran here and I must say I was disappointed in the size of the audience.
