Summary: The WORST movie I ever saw
Review: This movie started off with much potential but as it went on it was so depressing, people were crying in the theater. The only good thing about it was Osments performance. He is truely amazing. But the movie...I thought it would never end. I left the theater feeling so let down and depressed. Definatly not a "feel good" movie. The ending was so far fetched and rediculous that I was laughing to myself. I heard, the next morning that some people in other theaters were actually leaving before the movie was over!! I believe it!! I wish I would of left after 15 minutes of it!!!!!I am mad I wasted my time and money to sit and be depressed for 2 and a half hours.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Um...let's chop off the last 45 minutes
Review: Alright, this film was amazing. It had a decent plot, great special effects, brilliant acting (on Osment's part, and Jude law), and enough in it to make it award winning. That is, until Spielberg decides to make a warm little ending, but unsuccessfully throws in some mumbo jumbo. See it for the first two hours (give or take), but, I am warning you, after that, It drags on, and it's thrown together like a lazy salad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Spielberg/Kubrick
Review: Two movie geniuses (Spielberg and Kubrick) combine their extraordinary talents and A.I. wins a Gold Medal. There's nothing artificial about it...just pure intelligence. A film made for Sci-Fi enthusiasts, this project establishes a new genre of Science Fiction. It takes you completely away from reality. That may turn some viewers off, but when I pay my fee to see Spielberg and/or Kubrick, I want to be wisked away from the real world. This film does that and much, much more. It is gripping, heart-wrenching, futuristic and a masterpice of visual hypnotism. I can see where the young at heart would not recommend this film to family and friends, but if you were one of the first to see Kubrick's "2001 A Space Odyssey" and Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (like me), you can expect a combination of both films. This flick is a MUST for the intelligent Sci-Fi fan. If you're looking for Spielberg's "Jurassic Park", "E.T." or "Gremlins", you won't find it here. Those were "artificial". The focus of this film is on "reality". "A.I." is a window to the future.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Took me a week but I think I got the message
Review: When I left the theater I was thoroughly disappointed with A.I.. I thought for sure this would be a perfect movie. But a lot of the movie didn't make sense to me. I kept thinking "That's not very realistic". I couldn't understand why everyone was so unlikeable in this movie except the machines (robots)...then it hit me...that's what Speilberg and Kubrick were trying to tell us...that the humans basically deserved to die out because they had become lazy and selfish and greedy and unloving. The human race built machines for love and then forgot how to love themselves. Not a single human in the movie tried very hard to help David obtain love and in the end it was up to the remaining machine/robots to dig him up and give him happiness. Maybe I'm reaching with this...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Unfit for Children
Review: My wife and I have allowed our kids (7, 9, and 11) to see several R rated movies, but we were seriously thinking about getting up and leaving the movie theater during the middle of PG-13 rated AI in order to protect them from this inappropriate movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Expect to be challenged...
Review: If you want to sit and be mindless for 2.5 hours, go watch Tomb Raiders (twice). Otherwise, prepare to be overwhelmed. I saw this movie 4 days ago and it still haunts me. I'm not sure what Kubrick/Speilberg had in mind, but for me it exists on so many levels: life's meaning, love (i.e. parent/child), existence, mehanical vs. human evolution, humanity's flaws, obsession with our Creator, etc. Don't expect E.T. II and go with it. Be awed. See it again. Wonder. BTW, many reviewers seem to dislike the ending. No spoiler, but I hardly think it is "sweet" or "happy" in ANY way...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Completely Brilliant
Review: This is amazing combination of Spielberg and Kubrick that works on many levels. You will leave pondering life, existence, death, God, love, and your self. The subtlties of Osment's acting and the warmth from O'Connor truly bring Kubrick's dream to life, if in the slightly more sentimental (and oscar friendlier) Spielberg.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: 2000 YEARS LATER . . .
Review: I enjoyed the beginning of the movie it had me interested and seemed well paced. It is about a boy named David (Haley Joel Osment) who is a man made robot taught to show feelings of love and wants nothing else but to be a real boy. David will do anything to have his mother love him. Unfortunately he is cast out into the world with his Teddy and told he will never see his mother again. He meets up with Gigolo Joe (Jude Law) also a man made robot and they go off to Manhattan to look for "The Blue Fairy" so she can make him into a real boy. 2000 years later after earth is frozen over he is then greeted by aliens. Ugh it is boring, ...and [it] was a long drawn out ending. The music could put you to sleep, and I think Steven Spielberg could have done better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The People Who BashedThis Movie Don't Like Thinking Movies.
Review: This is an excellent movie. It's about Humanity, and the fact that just because we have the power to do something doesn't mean that we should do that thing. It's also about Mothers and sons and the importance of love. Mothers and sons is a recurring theme in many of Spielberg's works. And this one is the best example of that. If the ending of the movie didn't leave you in tears then I don't know what to say.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Emotional Movie
Review: ....I was greatly suprised.

This movie wasn't Bicenntennial Man, it was more like Blade Runner. Everyone must agree that Haley Joel Osment deserves an Academy Award for his amazing acting ability. In this film, it really shines. The movie is often dreary and depressing, but always full of emotion. The ending, I think, is great.

....

Many people didn't like the ending because they were confused, something Kubrick is probably grinning in his coffin about. Kubrick's ending is almost exactly what was featured here. In Kubrick's vision, the boy must watch his mother die because her life can't be sustained, almost identical to the actual version. The "aliens" were not aliens, they were advanced robots, 2,000 generations of robots later. The ending wasn't a saccarine happy-fest as many of Speilberg's movies are. There was a victory, but it was still very tragic and touching.

I've already pre-ordered a DVD.
