Additional InformationA.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is the story of David (Haley Joel Osment), the first mecha (a futuristic term for a mechanized human being) designed with the ability to love. A couple whose son is in a coma "adopts" David to help them recover from their loss. Naturally, things do not go as planned, and David is forced to leave the mother (Frances O'Connor) he's been "imprinted" to love, and make his way in the world. Traveling with Teddy, a hi-tech stuffed bear, David escapes the Flesh Fair, where angry humans destroy mechas to "purge artificiality," and unexpectedly befriends Gigolo Joe (Jude Law in a wry performance), a robot designed to pleasure women. Joe agrees to help David in his quest to become human.<BR>Director Stanley Kubrick originally developed A.I., at one point asking Spielberg to direct it. When Kubrick passed away, Spielberg took the reins. Using a treatment and thousands of drawings commissioned by Kubrick, Spielberg wrote his own screenplay (his first since 1979's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND). Osment, perhaps the only pre-teen actor who can effectively convey existential angst, gives a marvelous performance, helping Spielberg create a gorgeous futuristic fairy tale that questions the very nature of what we call life.
ReviewsNew York Times - ...A.I. is the best fairy tale -- the most disturbing, complex and intellectually challenging boy's adventure story -- Mr. Spielberg has made..., Variety - Deeply thoughtful and thoroughly fascinating., Los Angeles Times - ...The filmmaking, as expected, is quite wonderful..., USA Today - ...A.I. touches the emotions....What a thrill, for example, to see Law's body movements recall Jack Haley's Tin Man in THE WIZARD OF OZ while delivering a performance just as great..., Entertainment Weekly - "...Extraordinary....Fabulous....A.I. Achieves moments of quickening sci-fi grandeur..." -- Rating: A-, Rolling Stone - ...A.I. is unmistakably the work of a real filmmaker....A.I. is a film of visual astonishments..., Sight and Sound - ...It restates HAL's case with commendable vehemence and a kaleidoscopic ingenuity...

  • SPIElBERG Ft KUBRICK

    Stanley Kubrick was going to DIRECT this movie but he wanted Steven Spielberg to do it instead and he be the producer they could not decide and sadly Kubrick passed away before they could make an agreement. Spielberg then took it on HIMSELF to make the film in memory of Kubrick. AMAZING movie its got a great SCI-FI aspect but a compelling love story between mother and son, this film is magical and very entertaining all the way through. GREAT for the family. 96%/100 is my rating :) I had no problem with the SOUND so not sure what that other reviewer is referring to, sounds GREAT to me :)

  • Existential Sci-Fi

    First class acting and layered plot about finding place and purpose in the world, the importance of personal connection, and the question of what makes us human. Ultimately the latter turns out to be darker and more sinister than what many people give the film credit for, especially in relation to the ending. Despite finding the second act a little off-kilter this is a top rate sci-fi which I loved and can’t I believe it took me so long to discover it.
