The problem with this movie was not that it was confused, but that it was completely unoriginal, entirely predictable and sorely unconvincing. I really liked Teddy and found Haley amazing, but aside from that, the movie was one big pointless piece of drudge. Save, save, save your money and better than that, your time. You have been forewarned.
Synopsis:
-The mother's struggle with her choice - predictable/unconvincing.
-The father's enthusiasm with his company's trust/imposition - predictable/unconvincing.
-The corporate monster's predictable patriarchal mess with stay at home wifey's emotional head. - Antiquated/annoying.
-The idea that a couple would choose a robot over their not even dead and buried son. - Ludicrous/predictable/annoying.
-The flesh fair. - That will no doubt happen, but I've seen it already on Springer. - Boring.
-The idea that humans can never love robots. - Absurd. People fall in love with inanimate objects all the time. There's no moral or ethical argument here. Add a personality and cripes, what have you then?
-The idea the two parents would be blinded to the provocation of David by their son. - Probably. Happens all the time, but damn, did you have to put it in another movie. - Predictable/Boring.
-Mother drops boy in woods. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the world. -Boo Hoo/Melodramatic/poorly acted on the part of the mother.
-Five boys in a car looking for whores. - Did we really need to see that again? - Boring
-Young innocent boy taken to whore city. - Boring boring boring.
-David is an unoriginal automaton. - Woo woo - aren't we all. - Boring.
-David keeps begging for 2000 years. - He's a robot. He's programmed to do that. - Not very sad/entirely predictable.
-Keen future looking robots. - So?
-David falls asleep. - How? Why? Did he turn into a real boy? And how did this happen? Magic? - Don't get me wrong, I can handle a fairy tale and make believe with the best of them, but this movie couldn't make up it's mind. - Annoying/Laughable.
Garbage.
The people that enjoyed this movie are probably not well read. Or maybe they haven't seen that many movies. Or if they have they weren't paying attention. Or maybe they're young, which would actually be the best excuse. If you really haven't been there before, more power to you. For the rest of us, there was absolutely nothing in it that was worth dredging up again. The story was lame. The issues, by this time, are old hat. If you haven't already thought them through you haven't been thinking and you should be embarrassed. - You'd think someone like Spielberg would know better. Unbelievable.
