A.I. Artificial Intelligence
Is AI unpopular? Well, I like it. I think it is. When it was released, the movie polarized critics and audiences. Kubrick fans felt Spielberg down-watered Kubrick's ideas and blamed him for the sentimental ending, even though it was Kubrick's idea. A.I. was different from typical Spielberg fare because it was seen as more intellectual so it didn't pull in similar box office numbers. As for today, it has a 7.1 rating on IMDb and a 64% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
I think its reputation may have improved over the years, but nevertheless, I really liked the film.

Two of my favorite movies in general: Sunshine (2007) The Arrival (1996) Also: Solarbabies (1986) Is Solarbabies the one where they're all on roller skates and the cowardly villain shoots a hawk or something and is super proud and holds it up all Stewart-like saying something akin to "Look what I can do!" Yeah, it's a post-apcolyptic future. They play some lacrosse type game on rollerskates.

They were all splashing around in the ocean at the end, oblivious (as was I) to the fact that they couldn't drink that water.

Cube : A creative little movie, and one of the more horrific climaxes I can think of. One of my favorite all-time sci fi flicks. I loved the ending, too; it was perfect. Always wondered how well this movie would have gone over with a bigger budget and more well-known cast. The story/idea was pure gold. I didn't realize it was unpopular, though. I just figured it wasn't well-known. Is it highly disdained?

^Agreed with @graham and @winterssuicide on "Cube." That movie is proof that a low-budget can really 'box' (tee-hee) a film into having to be genuinely creative and well executed.
I particularly loved it because since the cast was all lesser known actors, you couldn't predict who was going to happen to their characters. The ending was well worth the ride.
The sequels are a big step down, but I can't say I totally regret checking them out. The third one (which is a prequel..."Cube:Zero" is pretty bad, but at times enjoyably bizarre.

Probably the smartest thing about Cube is that it really does create the impression of this gigantic network of lethal cubes that these characters are wandering through... yet it's all done on one set. They built a single Cube as a set, and then convinced the audience that it was dozens of separate but virtually identical rooms. It was a cheap movie that looked way more expensive than it was.

I don't look at too much fan critic data, so I thought maybe people thought it sucked. From the moment the first guy bit it - and the manner in which he dies - I was like, well look what I found...an unknown gem. Edit: I rented it on vhs when it came out.

Interesting point on the cast. I have never seen the sequels.

anthonyrocksThat's within my Top 105 movies in general and is my 2nd favorite Steven Spielberg movie behind Munich (2005)(8-8.5/10). but it's not really 'unpopular' either because while on RT critics seemed to have liked it (74%) and audiences are a bit mixed(42% liked it(with that spilled popcorn logo)), clearly on a mass public scale it's clearly liked given it's $591.7mil worldwide ($234.3mil here in USA). but I think the way RT scores stuff is a bit flawed as it seems to base 'liked it' by those who gave it a 3.5/5 or higher which a 7/10 on IMDb scale and it seems many consider a 6/10 a positive score on IMDb, which going by that standard, RT should consider a 3/5 a positive score which would raise that 42% 'liked it' status a bit higher I suspect. but with that said... as things are on RT and IMDb they are fairly similar in rating with users as IMDb seems to be mixed (i.e. 6.5/10 average) and RT is basically mixed to. but given critics and $$$ in the theaters(which $$$ in theaters basically tells us what the masses really think of a movie)... War of the Worlds (2005) is clearly a Thumbs Up level movie. so while War of the Worlds is not praised by the users on RT/IMDb, it's not really dissed either. so I guess it you define a movies popular or unpopular status based on IMDb scores, I don't really think War of the Worlds qualifies for either as it's sort of a mixed bag. but if you want to really simplify things and define popular as 'high praised movies' on RT or IMDb and unpopular as 'movies that lack higher praise status' on RT or IMDb, then you could basically call War of the Worlds unpopular as while it's got it's fans, it don't seem too many people praise it. but when I see a topic like this... I tend to think more along the lines of movies that are a bit more off the radar and in this regard War of the Worlds is still probably popular enough especially given Tom Cruise is tied to it and the $$$ it made in the theaters makes or more popular than not. p.s. NOTE: I pretty much consider movies in the 6.x/10 range to be 'mixed-opinions' as 5.x/10 and lower are generally negative and 7.x/10 or higher are generally positive if you want to keep things simple based on how I perceive the IMDb rating scale with it's users.
