A.I.

Against the advice of critics everywhere, I saw A.I. last night, and I’m still angry. What a dumb movie!

Here’s just one ridiculous, unbelievable detail that leaves me banging my head against the wall: a genius scientist creates a robot that is in nearly every respect indistinguishable from a real 11-yr old boy, and yet when that robo-boy swallows some food, he short-circuits. Err, can you say design flaw?

This detail isn’t central to the story, making it even more insulting.

If you haven’t seen the movie, take my advice: wait until it comes out on the rental market, and then rent something else instead.
