Oh so good...oh so niggling!

*ridiculously minor spoilers*
Well, it's better than AI....but... ....why were there so many clichés and plot-holes?! Ack!
A great first half, marred by a slow and plot-hole-filled second half sum up the movie. The idea of the entire movie being solved by one clichéd line just irritated the life out of me. 'I never said she was...' - I won't finish the line so as to make this review a VERY minor spoiler. The ending was also a little too 'Hollywood' for my liking, but solid performances all round made for an enjoyable experience, if perhaps a little overlong. True, you had to suspend disbelief a few times, but then again, if you can believe that dinosaur flick, why not believe this? Surely it's only a matter of time we'll have such technology.. (pre-cogs are another matter of course!)
Anyway, sit back and enjoy the ride. It's a fun one. When you're done, you'll argue some issues to your friends, and find it extortionately difficult to get your point across. Then..when you're done arguing, you'll realise that Spielberg succeeded. He provoked your mind. Of course, by telling you this, you might not be provoked, or will you?
