Just another Spielberg flick
Technically, I guess this was a JJ Abrams movie, but it was really classic Spielberg all the way.
It is basically JJ Abrams as Steven Spielberg directing this movie.
And then JJ as George Lucas directing Star Wars Episodes 7/9 (and Star Trek)
Similar with James Mangold as Steven Spielberg directing Indy 5.
I guess Spielberg himself attempted to be Stanley Kubrick directing AI.
