I thought this was done very cleverly. It tackles an unusual issue – what is it that makes us human? or, what is it that makes humans special? and can something we create ever be as special as we ourselves are? Could we ever create a soul that’s as real as our own? If you’re intrigued by this, go see the movie… if not, I feel sorry for you. I think if it was done by any other director, it would have been cheesy, if nothing else, this movie shows why Spielberg is simply great at what he does. (I think Kubrick would have done a fine job with it too – too bad he died)
