I just saw something on tv that reminded me about this movie.
Imo this is a terrible movie and Steven Spielberg's worse movie that I can recall. I just remember sitting in the theater wishing it would end. I'm curious to see if anyone on the
likes this one. The reviews for it were favorable and some critics gave it extremely high praise.

Seemed like a dope concept gone wrong. Kubrick would have surely done it more ill.

I really enjoy this movie. I think the ending was the problem. It should have ended in the ocean.

There are some amazingly perfect moments, some brilliant ideas, and then some ridiculousness. Kubrick would have done a much better job. Too many times Spielberg went Spielberg on us. That said, I like the movie a lot...

Really enjoyed. Got a little long in some parts, but overall a really good movie.
Reminds me of a more stylized version of Bicentennial Man which is really sappy and I enjoyed even more.

yeah, movie is dope. I really liked the overall feel of this flick. Wish Kubrick would have done it before da gawds passing.

Wow wasn't expecting this. I thought it was boring. Bad characters and a not great score. Interesting.

one of the worst movies i have ever seen. I immediately bought tickets to another movie to wash the taste of this one out of my mouth.

Out of curiosity, have you ever done this with any other film?
