AI was . . .. for me, too depressing. I went in happy, I came out depressed.
Why? He (they) lived happily ever after, no? If that ending followed Kubrick's intentions, I think he must have become dotty in his final years. Very "un-Kubrick"-like

Rex,
Without going into too much detail, as this isn't really the thread, I suggest you watch the end of AI again. It is not a happy ending at all
Mother dies ; boy effectively is only able to obtain "artificial" love instead of real love ; assumes its real love anyway, and has no reason to function anymore so "dies" as well ; entire human race dead
Admittedly a bit generalized but this has been discussed at great lengths in other threads
Also I would say the whole of the last 20 minutes is more "Kubrick-like" than "Spielberg-like" (2001 ??)
