I purchased this on DVD some time ago, believing that I had never encountered it before. It wasn't until I arrived at the robot destruction spectacle – a phrase I’m sure I’ve never used previously – that it dawned on me I’d actually seen this film already. That particular scene is quite striking. In several ways, I considered the movie to be skillfully produced: the visual effects were impressive, there was considerable depth to the story's concepts, and the script was generally strong. It seemed as if it was attempting to address too many themes simultaneously, and I noticed a few shortcomings. I’ll point out just one, trying to avoid spoilers. There's an important moment involving John Hurt's character and the artificial intelligence child David. A significant amount of work went into getting David to that location, so what happens is he simply leaves David unattended. And the movie’s conclusion hinges on that event. It seemed his departure was only to advance the storyline. Despite this, the film, drawing parallels with and reimagining the story of Pinocchio in a futuristic setting, represented a notable accomplishment. I enjoyed it, though not as much as many other films directed by Spielberg.
