Makes me cry - 1 of my favorites

This movie makes me cry. I watch it every so often for catharsis (Titanic and Amelie and Shawshank Redemption does the same). One of my favorites. It speaks to me on so many levels. It is very surreal too, which I enjoy. Yes the creatures at the end are robots, not aliens which I thought at first. They just 'evolved'.

A great fairy tale - except robots and good special effects.

I love this movie...it tells a great story.

I like the fact that it is a quiet movie that speaks more on a personal level than just action and blowing things up. A good drama.

I can watch this over and over. I LOVE sci-fi.

One of the best... ever

This movie was supposed to be done by Stanley Kubrick but he died before it was complete. As a Kubrick film, one should know what to expect, but add in Steven Spielberg and the effect is warmer and still unsettling.
Just a side issue: I would have preferred a wide-screen version, but this is still a fine addition to my Kubrick collection. I pair it with other robot movies like "I Robot" (I know... Asimov) and "Space Odyssey:2001" or "Bicentennial Man" for a fun popcorn night. What more could we want for a post-apocalyptic- dystopia night?

Moving

The story is completely unfeasible, but is still a good one and very moving in parts.

The artificial child David is created to have human emotion, in particular the ability to love. But it is an unrealistic and programmed love directed only at one person and not of the human kind. No real boy would have this everlasting and overpowering love for a miserable mother that abandoned him in the woods to die or fend for himself.

David's unrequited love is moving and pathetic. In the tear-jerking ending where David's "mother" spends one glorious last day with him and tells him that she has always loved him, she and her words are just the fabrication of the beings that recreated her for him. His mother did not love him.
