Explanation was never my strong point, I would like to point out that the middle hour was also visually very much like Blade Runner which leads me to believe that they were concious of the plot similarities whilst producing the film.
As for 2001 I should explain... 2001 intentionally had a confusing and bewildering ending to attempt to seperate its self from the crowd, it is the ending that most people remember, A.I. tried to do the same thing, unfortunatley there was a infact a meaning behind 2001s ending, in AI they'd just seperated it from the crowd by making it as ridiculous as possible
