History will place an asterisk next to A.I. as the film Stanley Kubrick might have directed. But let the record also show that Kubrick--after developing this project for some 15 years--wanted Steven Spielberg to helm this astonishing sci-fi rendition of Pinocchio, claiming (with good reason) that it veered closer to Spielberg's kinder, gentler sensibilities. Spielberg inherited the project (based on the Brian Aldiss short story "Supertoys Last All Summer Long") after Kubrick's death in 1999, and the result is an astounding directorial hybrid. A flawed masterpiece of sorts, in which Spielberg's gift for wondrous enchantment often clashes (and sometimes melds) with Kubrick's harsher vision of humanity, the film spans near and distant futures with the fairy-tale adventures of an artificial boy named David (Haley Joel Osment), a marvel of cybernetic progress who wants only to be a real boy, loved by his mother in that happy place called home.
Echoes of Spielberg's Empire of the Sun are clearly heard as young David, shunned by his trial parents and tossed into an unfriendly world, is joined by fellow "mecha" Gigolo Joe (played with a dancer's agility by Jude Law) in his quest for a mother-and-child reunion. Parallels to Pinocchio intensify as David reaches "the end of the world" (a Manhattan flooded by melted polar ice caps), and a far-future epilogue propels A.I. into even deeper realms of wonder, even as it pulls Spielberg back to his comfort zone of sweetness and soothing sentiment. Some may lament the diffusion of Kubrick's original vision, but this is Spielberg's A.I. (complete with one of John Williams's finest scores), a film of astonishing technical wizardry that spans the spectrum of human emotions and offers just enough Kubrick to suggest that humanity's future is anything but guaranteed. --Jeff Shannon

This movie makes me cry. I watch it every so often for catharsis (Titanic and Amelie and Shawshank Redemption does the same). One of my favorites. It speaks to me on so many levels. It is very surreal too, which I enjoy. Yes the creatures at the end are robots, not aliens which I thought at first. They just 'evolved'.

It would be difficult to suggest a director less-suited to the handling of Kubrick's work than Spielberg. Kubrick is cerebral, passionate, hallucinatory... Spielberg is prosaic, predictable, traditional. Kubrick likes to get under your skin with unsettling insights; Spielberg is the master of soapy drama and cheap-shot schlock.
Separately, each director rightly has his fans. Together... well, AI fully demonstrates just how disastrous the pairing could possibly be. It is a film without ... Read More

This film is sort of an adventure film with a fairy tale mixed into it. It was quite interestingly told, not AMAZING exactly, but somehow keeping my attention; the last half hour of this film, though, was just AMAZING! It was emotionally charged, filled with THE MOST visionary visuals I've seen in ANY film and by the time I left the theater I was completely satisfied. I haven't bought this film, partly b/c it ticks me off to know that so many people think this film is bad b/c they don't know HOW ... Read More

As many wish to paint a bright future for us all. This work was a good depiction of what could be.
It begs the question: What defines "a real boy" or humanity?
Most of my family thought the end was sad, but given some thought, realized that it was actually good. It throws your emotions all over. You see the good, bad, and ugly in humanity. The emotions of David's "Mother" - well played. Take special note of when David is "Imprinted" his change in expression... That kid can ... Read More

This film was a five star science fiction experience for me. The (Full-Screen) DVD box set is an excellent transfer and includes many extras about the making of the movie. The story of Kubrick and his relationship with Spielberg is covered in some depth.
The plot was originally discovered by Stanley Kubrick, who in 1984 contacted Steven Spielberg asking him to direct the movie. Although they discussed the story at great length, Spielberg did not actually work on the film until asked to ... Read More
