I guess most critics have already said this. But I am just amazed at how the totally hokey would-be tear-jerker of an ending made it into this otherwise exceptional movie. Even in science fiction/fantasy, you cannot throw all rules out the window. But everything about this sequence was arbitrary. Could not this final meeting have been made to occur in a manner more continuous with everything that had gone before? Of course it could have. For most of this movie, I forgot my aversion to Spielberg's sentimental syrup. And then, to make up for it, he tries to put a full movie's worth into 20 or 25 minutes.
Ugh.
