Summary: Emotional Roller Coaster
Review: Spielberg and Osment will be getting awards this year. This is the best movie I have seen all year. The reason I liked the movie so much is that I was pulled into the story. From the previews I had really no idea what the movie was about. I knew it was about a little boy robot and that is it. The easiest way to sum up what I went through was an emotional roller coaster. This ride for me puts anything at Disney World to shame. It is kind of like when you get off of a roller coaster and you have that hazy feeling. I was left in that world when the movie ended and it took a day to get back into reality. I have to go see that movie again just because the story is so good and I loved the ride it put me on emotionally

Summary: Save your 10 for a true A.I.
Review: Well, well . . . a couple of questions to ponder . . . Could the casting have been better? Probably not. Could the acting have been better? Doubt it. Special effects? Incredible. Did Speilberg go overboard again (Jurassic II)? Hands down. Would have Kubrick done it differently? Definitely. What could I have done if I would have saved? Picked up a true masterpiece of "mecha-intelligence" - Blade Runner.

Summary: A.I. - Absolute ...
Review: A.I. is quite possibly one of the worst movies ever made. Its dull, somber tone, and plodding storyline threaten to have you snoozing within the first half hour. Do not see this movie unless you have money to burn and need a good nap.

Summary: Visually Stunning but Darker than the trailers suggest
Review: Darker that Blade Runner. A must see for SCI-FI fans. Uneven delivery with 3 apparently different sections spread over 2 hours and 25 minutes. NOT a date movie. Not a children's movie. Expect some inconsistency of characters and improbable events in service of a plot with a message. Be patient to reach the ending before drawing a final conclusion. Slow moving in parts. Was more disturbing than satisfying. Cynical view of human characters. Some sexuality and violence which justified a PG-13. Boy-robot mostly convincing.

Summary: Engaging Premise, Flat Ending.
Review: When I fist saw the preveiws of A.I., I was highly anticipating it. The surreal yet familiar future seemed well presented, and acting was supurb. Yet, despite these bonuses, the movie starts to drag itself down slowely, flashing too much of what the directors wanted to show you to actually savor anything. The movie plummets faster during the ending, way too sappy and streched out, really trying to be emotional to a fault, and coming out sappy and saccirine. The movie really had potential, and I could see that the directors Speilburg and Kubrick could have done SO MUCH BETTER if they had at least thought it out more, instead of drifting farther and farther away from the origional search-for-inner-humanity feel of the movie.

Summary: A.I. has it's day at the movies!
Review: As I watched this film, I couldn't help but wonder about all the things we would end up with if Stanley Kubrick "had" directed the film. The subject matter is definitely thought provoking and the scenarios displayed in the film could have been far more provocative. I am sure Kubrick would've fought long and hard for an "R" rating if the subject matter was allowed to go the full distance since this movie isn't what you would consider an "E.T.-ish" or "Close Encounter-ish" framework. It's a very dark portrait of the possibilities of man over machine and quite possibly man becoming machine. There is so much to love about this film. If you take a step back and really think about it, the story will have you contemplating scene after scene for days. Having just watched it last night, I am reminded at how far we have come as a technological humanity in just the last one hundred years. Now imagine a few hundred more years, or even possibly 2000 more years! That's big! Steven Spielberg as always pulls this one off folks! To take subject matter that large and translate it to a visual product would be impossible for almost any director. Except Steven Spielberg! The story of AI is quite a simple one. It takes the legacy of "Pinocchio" and transposes it to an ultramodern sci-fi epic. From the set designs, actors, special effects, costumes and a plethora of other entities, we are treated to something that is obviously much larger than we are. So why the three stars? Intellect. This movie lacks a lot of intellect. Not because it isn't smart. I think it tries too hard to "look" smart. From the unexplainable mannerisms of "David" as a supposed "brilliantly designed" robot that doesn't stop eating spinach, to plots holes galore found in the final ending. You are given this beautiful banquet of a film and all you get is a fat-filled hamburger and French fries WITH A DIET COKE! I also think that narration in sci-fi movies has never really worked unless they are used very sparingly. "Blade Runner," should've been used as an example for this movie to avoid the senseless narrations. Narration simply makes the audience feel dumb and it leaves little for the viewer to contemplate when a scene is truly meant to be quiet, serene and simple. Should you miss AI? Absolutely not, it's groundbreaking cinema and given the amount of films Spielberg has done, this film is quite simply his most "breathtaking." There are so many scenes where the word "Wow" will come up. With all it's misgivings and eschewed plot points, I want to see it again just to be taken to the world of AI once more.

Summary: He just wanted to be loved!
Review: AI is a thinking mans movie.This is not a movie that I would take the kids to see because you really need to be an adult to follow the story.Osment`s performance as an artificial life form is wonderfully acted(I think Hollywood going to have there hands full when this young star gets older!)Everyone tried to make this movie somthing it was not,it was not a difficult movie to follow nor understand.David wanted to be loved,real,this is something that is bound to happen when man plays God.This boy did not ask to come into being he was manufactured to help grieving parents who have lost a child.Pause for a moment and think what is more cruel not letting go of our lost ones or creating somthing in thier absence that loves you unconditionally?When the couples son "comes out of hibernation" David is now forced to compete for love and affection.Only to be dumped in the woods (now we see that yes people can be more cruel then machines)Osment sets out on a journey to find the blue fairy(the one how granted life to a little wooden boy.Hint it is a Disney movie and when the boy lies his nose grows.He believes so much in this that when he finds her (a statue underwater at a theme park you just want so much for him to become human.I am a guy who normally does not shead a tear (especially in sci-fi movie!)David again has been misslead by a fairytale and real life.When David is Found some 2000 yrs.Humans no longer exist.Intellegent life forms now rome the Earth loking into our past.All david wants is one more night with his mother ....With eveything that goes on in this movie you really dont have to be a rocket scientist to understand this movie.

Summary: Not perfect, but...
Review: Not perfect at all, but this movie is everything it needs to be. It's dark, thought provoking, and very well acted. As an added bonus the special effects are simply astounding. Haley Joel Osment and Jude Law are terrific as the two mecha's. The mood and feel of the picture are also very well excuted. I'm sure not everyone will like the end of the movie, you can even argue that it should of ended earlier, but I can forgive good ol' Steve because look at it from his perspective, we live in a society with no attention span. If he didn't literally spell out every last detail at the end of the movie I doubt half the people that see it will ever understand what they're watching. They tell their friends it sucked and will all go see Scary Movie 2 instead. Besides, if you swallow your inner critic, or cynic for most of you, the movie might even get it's message across! Excellent film.

Summary: Worst movie ever made!
Review: It started out really interesting but after the first hour completely lost it's focus and the plot spiralled out of control. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. In fact, at the end of the movie the whole audience booed for about 15 minutes. I wish I had not wasted 2 1/2 hours viewing this.
