Watched this movie in a "Special Screening" - meaning it was a fund raiser. Being a pseudo-social event, the movie did not start at once. We were subjected to a barrage of commercials from the sponsors, then sit through an "emcee" thanking the sponsors and talking about the foundation, listen to a testimonial from a graduate of the program, then endure another round of the same set of commercial adverts. I sighed in relief when the movie finally started.
Being a "casual fan" of Isaac Asimov, his books made me like robot movies even though some people think they could not connect to the robot character. Therefore I liked A.I. and this one. My friend would have enjoyed it as well if there was little tech talk ... I had to "translate" some terms for said friend. Compared to AI and Bicentennial Man, this movie's action sequences overshadowed the "human element", and it is this element that makes me remember robot stories.
