Behold! Two Masters Of The Genre Go Very Wrong
|
Hey, I'm shocked, too, to be beating up on this film. I figured I'd love it.
I wonder how much Stanley Kubrick would have changed AI had he lived to make this film, as he supposedly planned to do? Although I also wonder if given Kubrick's record of starting into a project and then moving onto another without completing his last work---such as his long-awaited but never-made 1970's Napoleon bioflick---would AI truly ever have been shot at all? As he's indicated was the case, Steven Spielberg was perhaps being honorable in sticking as closely as possible to the vision and script of his hero as it was written at the time of Kubrick's death, but I can't help but wonder how much (or little) AI would have resembled the final product we encountered in this version. AI was not a movie I enjoyed, and that surprised me. It felt hollow, it wasn't endearing or satisfyingly alienating, either, and it will never justly be dubbed a classic. Its minuscule plot was twisted around itself until it was like some sort of coiled wire, and its outcome in those famous last twenty minutes was simply terrible. AI was slow-moving, visually underwhelming, not thought provoking, not well fleshed out, and if it wasn't for Jude Law's sexbot character adding interest to the production, I'd go so far as accuse AI of being a waste of time in its entirety.
