    Only Kubrick and Spielberg, working together on different time planes, could create such a philosophical and intellectual heartbreaker.

    I was already 16 years old when “A.I.” hit theaters on the last weekend of June 2001, but Steven Spielberg’s unnerving techno-fable has always felt like the last film that I ever saw as a child. To a certain extent, of course, everything that happened before the end of…

    Somehow I had forgotten that this is one of the greatest films ever made.

    100/100 A graceful, yearnful masterwork of connection and evolving artificiality within the tattered seams of the human heart. Reflections, sunrises, and countless other grand images compliment a bittersweet story laced with impenetrable darkness. Top 3 Spielberg.

    Haley Joel Osmont gives maybe the best child performance of all time in this, first terrifyingly inert in his programmed cheerfulness, then Uncanny Valley sweet in David's fully activated "realism," only to feel truly human as he wades among the more primitive models of his…

    Emotionally conceptual and conceptually emotional―a spiritual, sentimental and melancholy depiction of the end of humanity as a mechanized visual echo of ourselves lost in eternity. Passages in this are among the most soulful and lyrical there have ever been.

    Interesting movie. Not one of my favorites from Spielberg, though. Not a super traditional feature length movie story.

    Incredibly disturbing, on a recent rewatch. But nothing looks quite like it

    I loved seeing Kubrick and Spielberg’s blend of ideas, one being darker and the other more sentimental. Personally I don’t think they mesh very well, but it’s interesting! It’s technically masterful and is tackling some deep themes, despite feeling tonally off. 6.5

    this movie has an outside of the box trait can relate to the type of movies like the butterfly effect and movies like that this movie can be a little bit creepy. It has its own spin on how artificial intelligence could be.

    Positively haunting, in the most eerily charming way. A simple yet elegant artistic portrayal of all the questions that come with AI/robots. Something for everyone in this movie. HJO is perfect for the role.

    I only remembered the beginning till she left him finally got the chance to watch the whole thing. Just a little kid who wanted his mom. Moms are the best. Hope to keep mine for as long as possible.

    This movie is honestly better than I expected and I love the way it was executed. It may drag a little bit but I think it overall adds to the experience of the movie.

    A.I. Artificial Intelligence

    When it’s good it’s good and when it’s bad it’s bad. A bit all over the place. Didn’t care for the cameos from huge stars of the time as they felt out of place.

What we're left with -- Kubrick or no -- is a muddled, messy disaster of a film, something that seems more like a drastically edited miniseries, cut down to incomprehensible levels with whole sections missing.

Pure magic, a three-act movie fantasy that transports us -- as the best films do -- to a world of its own, a place of ambiguous joy and delirious terror.

Audiences may find that the deliberate, Kubrickesque pacing -- without his intellectual rigor -- causes them to tune out.
