I will say this, technically there are probably not many directors in the same league as Robert Zemeckis. This is coming from someone that doesn't really like anything he's done post- "Contact," but realizes the technical prowess that Zemeckis possesses. The guy is also a solid storyteller. At some point in his career he was on a roll (Romancing the Stone, Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump).




There was a time when many believed Steven Spielberg would direct "Robopocalypse," which tells the story of humanity's desperate last stand against an AI uprising.
