I must be drunk, because I distinctly remember aliens in AI.

You didn't get it. Though, you are hardly alone.

A.I. is often criticized because "aliens show up at the end for no reason".

They are not aliens. They are mechas (robots) just like David (Haley Joel Osment's chracter) except they are centuries more advanced. In the film, Gigolo Joe (I think) comments that mechas will eventually replace humans as the dominant species on the Earth. At the end of the film, we see that.

When the SuperMechas find David, it's like they're finding a piece of their ancient history. They're finding one of the first of their kind.

It's a much different ending when you realize who finds David.

Ah. I see. Thanks. The ending doesn't seem quite so tacked on when you know the real story.

I got the ending, but i still didn't like AI, mostly because it was so messed up, it was like three very different movies tacked together.

But i don't think it belongs on the list because its not really a Spielberg movie, its a Kubrik movie that Spielberg picked up after he died. I'd like to think that if it Speilberg had died before filming Jaws and Kubrik picked it up that it would have sucked ass too.

If Kubrik had done it, we definitely would have been rooting for the shark.

I'm sure the shark would have had all the good lines....
