This is supposed to be Spielberg’s dud? In that case, my opinion of his filmography has increased manifold... A film imperfect due its overly sentimental approach, but beautiful nonetheless in its narrative playfulness and the view of events through an eternally fascinated child's "mind" that best reveals Steven's own fascination with the subject matter. Kubrick would be pleased. 85% ()
Kubrick behind the concept, Spielberg the creator, and in the end, a beautiful film full of naive searching, simple and human thoughts, breathtaking performances by Osment and Law, and a conclusion that can mentally overwhelm. I admire this film for being able to combine traditional Spielbergian family values with a fascinating vision of the future, a plethora of technical gadgets, and many intellectual stimuli. ()
I don't know if Stanley Kubrick could have gotten more out of this material, but I definitely don't think he would have made it as excessively sentimental as Spielberg. These are the exact elements that I don't like about his films. That sentimentality that tries to force tears in your eyes. However, I also didn't really like the story here, which is maybe too inspired by Pinocchio, but it tries to be different by bringing it into the realm of science fiction. ()
No, I wasn't expecting miracles, which was good, because there weren't any. The emotions of the story of the "dream robot" are maintained mainly by the flawless Osment, but it is a pity that Spielberg has kind of forgotten how to make an ending. Like Minority Report, A.I. is stretched into an awkward happy ending. If the credits had surfaced a few minutes earlier, it would have been an excellent film, but the offered end is hellish nonsense. It’s too bad. Convincing visually and in terms of acting, this is a science fiction with a little more thoughtful subtext, but Spielberg can do better. Add a half to the three stars. ()
A captivating and visionary sci-fi film that is unlike anything ever made before. It's not worth arguing about whether Kubrick would have done it better or worse. Spielberg made the film the way he wanted and did not embarrass his colleague. A technically flawless film with beautifully ethereal music and excellently chosen actors. A great experience and once again, one of the masterpieces of world cinema that will most likely never be fully appreciated. ()
