I would think everyone would find it easy, if not logical, to accept that
the thingees at the end of the movie are aliens. I'm not sure why some folks are arguing. It really makes so much more sense.
My only problem was that I didn't GET IT when I saw AI. I'm a pretty clever girl, with common sense, a good amount of savvy when it comes to uncovering deep structure, and street smarts to boot! But i really didn't get it that they were highly advanced mecha of human design. Some other viewers i talked to didn't get it either. I would've liked a line or two of dialogue giving me that info, but then i didn't make the movie and as someone else said, maybe the ambiguity is a stylistic feature.
and kubrik or speilberg just didn't ask me.
I think i'm spoiled by the many other movies I've seen that spoonfeed me establishing information.
i feel shame.
