Worst Steven Spielberg Film?

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.
