A.I.'s MOST Difficult Critiques and Questions


These aren't all complaints, some are just general questions:

1. At the beginning, the narrator says that "robots do not consume resources beyond those of their first manufacture". This simply does not make any sense; robots would use comparable amounts of energy to humans.
2. Why was Henry never imprinted?
3. Why is Henry so quick to turn on the project?
4. When David is having his insides fixed, he tells Monica "It's okay, Mommy - it doesn't hurt", but then feels pain later when Martin's friends press a cake cutter against his skin.
5. How is David waterproof? His mouth is clearly connected to his insides, as seen when he ate spinach, so how does water not get in there?
6. Teddy proposedly helped David write messages for Monica, but some of them are saying that "Teddy isn't real" and that he "hates Teddy". So did Teddy really help David? Or if he did, why is David so hostile towards Teddy?
7. Why did Monica and Henry immediately resort to abandoning David, rather than finding out why he is doing what he is doing? Why didn't they consult Cybertronics to get the kinks sorted out? Since Monica and Henry are actually supposed to be doing in-house testing for David, why aren't Cybertronics making regular inspections anyways?
8. Why is teddy mistaken for a "dog" by one of the staff at the Flesh Fair?
9. How can it be possible that David is the first child robot? All the years of robots, and no one else has thought of making a child?
10. Why does Joe take David to Dr. Know? Is there no internet or libraries in this future?
11. At Rouge City, why do the police not chase David or Gigolo Joe who have just stolen their police amphibicopters?
12. Why is the Cybertronics office all the way in Manhattan, when at the beginning it was in New Jersey?
13. Why does Dr. Hobby leave David alone in his current state of mind? Why doesn't he bring David to the team, rather than the other way around? What takes Dr. Hobby so long to get back anyways?
14. Isn't it a bit too coincidental that Coney Island just so happens to be where David committed suicide (coincidently at the Cybertronics building)?
15. Why do the police take Joe but not David? Why do they not chase after David who submerges underwater with their police amphibicopter?
16. How does the amphibicopter not crush from the ferris wheel or the increased pressure when the ice feezes?
17. How was David never discovered in those 2,000 years? Surely as soon as Dr. Hobby found David missing, they would go to the most likely spot which is the Coney Island adjacent to their offices.
18. Since when can you go from global warming to ice age in just 2,000 years?
19. Why did the SuperMecha not simply de-program David?
20. Joe tells David “You saved my brain”, and David tells Dr. Hobby “My brain is falling out” – but they do not have brains?
21. Why does Monica believe that she has been stabbed in the eye with the scissors when it quite clearly made no contact?
22. What is the implication of the german references "Das ist gut" (one of the boys from Martin's party) and the "Techno Erotishe, Zu Vermeten, Liebesroboter" (one of the signs at rouge city)?
23. What is the implication of the statue that Joe dances next to at Rouge City? It looks like a deformed human, but what does it actually mean and imply for the movie?
24. Who is this child's face (seen in orange) at the Flesh Fair? What does it mean?! http://gyazo.com/eed481d81fcf5d829fb93323e0659e96

The questions can not be answered. The movie was nonsensical. Nothing made sense in the movie. It's like asking about MechaShark's fluid dynamics characteristics.
