After seeing this movie at one o'clock in the morning, I was asking myself why I didn't fall asleep. I knew the answer immediately after: because I really liked this movie. Not so much because of the actors or the plot, but because this movie is packed full of imagination seen pretty much in all of Spielberg's films.
I also found myself taken in by the sometimes annoying Haley Joel Osment's performance. Of course, throughout the film, I was comparing it to Bicentinial Man. I liked that movie alot as well, mainly for the same reasons. A.I. is imaginative, eerie, and yes, long. It's not an action movie, but Spielberg knows how to deliver amazing and effective effects. I was touched by the last half of the movie most of all. I won't give anything away, but it's surprisingly powerful and tear-jerking. I didn't cry, but I almost did.
