: so, at the end of A.I. those things that find David ARE NOT aliens, they are highly advanced robots? yes?
Yes.
: (i would've appreciated the movie alot more had i figured that out. they are looking for information about their creators as we humans seek evidence of our creator and purpose. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!)
Exactly. They are trying to find the missing link between humans and mecca, which would be David.
: how in the movie should I have known that they were highly advanced robots? was there a piece of dialogue i blocked out? a cue? how did you guys know that?
I would take Gigolo Joe's warnings about mecca being built "too smart, too quick, and too many" and that mecca would be the only thing left after humans were gone as earily prophetic.
