I just saw A.I. It opened just a week ago here in sweden. When people started to get anxious to get out of the theater (lots of moans) I had one of my best movie experiences of my whole life.
The ending gave me the same feeling as I get when I watch a classic Kubrick film. Just this overwhelming feeling that I have watched something that I never have seen before. Nothing have remotely been done that resembles this. Actually I was awestruck the whole way from the middle of the film but when I thought it was over (ever if I knew beforehand that there were several endings to come) the movie fastforwarded 2000 years... Well, the movie entered totally Kubrick territory.
This felt like watching 2001 for the first time.
The genius of this film is that it totally goes against conventions. Everyone knows that you can't make cold fairytales and you can ABSOLUTELY NOT mix science-fiction with fairytales! It's a law you can't have several endings. Especially not three! Well, Kubrick and Spielberg just broke those stupid laws.
Like everyone have said I can't stop thinking about this film and yes, it follows me in my dreams!
It defies every storytelling rule ever created and in my opinium the film wouldn't have been half as good without the ending. This film is one for the ages folks.
