Very unique insight into the longing of every person to be loved. We see and feel the horrifying confusion of human interaction. This is a masterpiece effort that is tarnished by its hurried ending. Original concept is fascinating, but the outcome turns out to be too cliche.

Joel Haley Osmont is an astounding actor. He has an amazing ability to show a world of hurt and pain in a simple look. Jude Law plays his part of giaglo robot to a T. Nearly all of the supporting cast came across very engaging and believeable. Why not 30? Chris Rock. He had one line in the film, but it was so totally out of character that it stuck out horribly.

Excellent production, sound, and direction. However Spielberg tries so hard to be Kubrick-esque, that it shows through in a few areas. The ending, although not a total disaster, fell away from the general mood of the whole movie.

This is a "made you think" movie. You definitely walk out of the theatre thinking. However, there could have been a better resolution.
