I watched it in the theater as a much younger guy when it fist came out and I remember feeling unsatisfied but didn't know why exactly. Finally rewatching it now I had the same impression by the end but I think I understand why this time, especially knowing it is the bastard child of Kubrick and Spielberg. It really feels like it doesn't know what king of movie it wants to be, or who its audience is. At times it feels so simplistic as if it's a kids movie, and some other times it seems like it tries to provoke deep reflection from us. In the end, while it's still an interesting watch, I found it messy, with a few boring parts, and very uneven acting performances. Would not necessarily recommend it.
