I see your AI question has been answered several times. It was not "universally" derided. Many of the initial reviews were extremely glowing. In fact, rottentomatoes.com has AI with 119 positive reviews versus 41 negative. And as can be seen, even some otherwise sensible FReepers have good things to say about it. What happened however, was that after the positive reviews and the Spielberg imprimatur got fannies in the seats, the masses revolted (or regurgitated) in disgust. There are threads that discuss it in detail. Let's just say the film making was extremely derivative, but overlayed with the saccharine quest for WASPy middle class family acceptance that Spielberg seems never to achieve.

Thanks to all for the replies. I should have understood the initials based on their tech application.
I guess having 3 kids and a country house has taken its toll on my movie trivia knowledge!
