David: Mommy? Will you die? Monica: Well, one day, David, yes, I will. David: I'll be alone. Monica: Don't worry yourself so. David: How long will you live? Monica: For ages. For 50 years. David: I love you, Mommy. I hope you never die. Never.
Narrator: Those were the years when the icecaps melted due to the greenhouse gases and the oceans had risen and drowned so many cities along all the shorelines of the world. Amsterdam, Venice, New York forever lost. Millions of people were displaced. Climate became chaotic. Hundreds of millions of people starved in poorer countries. Elsewhere a high degree of prosperity survived when most governments in the developed world introduced legal sanctions to license pregnancies. Which was why robots, who were never hungry and did not consume resources beyond those of their first manufacture were so essential an economic link in the chain mail society.

Add a CommentThis was a brilliant and beautiful film. It was a right homage to the late Kubrick. I saw it in the theater and loved it. Haley Joel Osment was a young acting prodigy. Amazing talent.
This movie has some great moments, unfortunately they are few and far between a mess of horrible scripting. Other than that all the acting is good, and there are some terrific special effects. While this isn't a movie everyone can enjoy it is still worth checking out at least once. I would recommend this to fans of science fiction.
I just saw this movie for the first time since it's initial release. It left me in tears. It is a brilliant film. Incredible direction by Spielberg and a superlative performance by Haley Joel Osment (the kid from The Sixth Sense). Highly recommended.
Trying to figure out what this movie is actually about makes as much sense as trying to find the front of a beanbag chair.
Very thrilling, futuristic and compassionate film
Uhh. How do I even begin to describe this movie...weird...I personally disliked it very much. Kind of depressing really, the situation of the world in the film really sucks.
This movie was 2.5 hours of my life I wish I could get back. Although I cried so much at the end that I developed a migraine, it was the horribly depressing topic of the movie that stuck with me for days, weeks, even years. I can't bring myslef to think about the questions this movie raises. With that said, I must give Spielberg credit for creating a very (albeit Spielberg-like) Kubrick film. In the special features you learn that Spielberg and Kubrick threw the script back and forth to each other, each convinced the other would do a better job. After Kubrick's death, and as homage to his friend, Spielberg attempts to make the film in Kubrick's odd and disturbing style - something that I think he accomplished very well. Even so, I would no recommend this film, unless you area philosophy student - it would make a great paper on the moral argument for the creation of artificial intelligence.
