Tyler, I'm afraid I'm on the list of those who didn't like it (just saw most of it this weekend). I am a huge Blade Runner fan (have seen it at least a bazillion times and it mesmerizes me every time). To me, BR had a beginning, middle, end, a plot. AI seemed to me to just meander along. It would start on a story line, move along with it, and then it was over and another was beginning. I had to give up and go to bed when I didn't see any end in sight. I thought Haley Joe Osment was very good, though, and I was hopeful when William Hurt's character was brought back in ... (reminded me of BR's replicant trying to 'meet his maker') but then to no avail. If you have any thoughts on something I missed, I'd love to hear them. Lindsay
