Summary: See for yourself.
Review: If you read these reviews, you will discover that most of them are either 1 star or 5 stars. Instead of wasting your time here, See the film for yourself and see if it is a 1 or 5. Note: I thought it was amazing!

Summary: Would have made a great Trilogy
Review: Although Spieldberg was trying to honor Kubrick's wishes, I think this movie could have best been served on three different plates. There were just way too many stories thrown at you all at once with characters that seem to serve no purpose what-so-ever. I am a die hard Spieldberg fan and this was definite miss to me. The Special Effects were typical Spieldberg (hince the three stars) but the story had too many holes that could have been filled with sequels.

Summary: One of the best films thatI've seen
Review: Well I don't know why when this film was released, it was not critically acclaimed. This is of Speilberg's best work yet. Certainly more entertaining and unpridictable as E.T. Whoever wants to watch this film, I strongly reccomend it. But it's not really for children. Pleasant film.

Summary: Hard to Marry Kubrick and Spielberg
Review: I decided to rent this one before buying, and I'm glad I did. The trouble with AI is that it is an attempt to merge two completely different styles of directing into one film. Both Kubrick and Spielberg have made some great films, and also some awful ones. In the good ones, Kubrick films impart the viewer with a sense of something unfinished, worthy of further contemplation. Spielberg's better films are designed to leave no doubt about how he wants the audience to react to a particular scene. Putting the two together creates more than a little confusion. In a nutshell, Kubrick wants you to think, while Spielberg wants you to feel. For me, I just couldn't feel for the mecha-child, and the ending was scripted as typical Spielberg, so there was no opportuninty for much thinking. If you're looking for a similar-themed film, I would reccomend Bicentennial Man, excellently played by Robin Williams. It seems like most people reviewing this film either loved it or hated it. I'm guess I'm neutral on it, it wasn't a bad film, but it was lacking the substance to be a good film.

Summary: gets better with every viewing
Review: i've already written a review of the film.. this one is for the dvd.. i got it today, and watched it.. my 3rd time seeing the film. the strange thing is that while i definately noticed more of the flaws in the structure and script of the film, i cared even less that there even were flaws. steven spielberg went balls-out on this one and he deserves some recognition and respect for making such a brave and moving film, despite whatever shortcomings there might be. One final thought on the ending: a lot of people say this is the part that makes the movie suffer the most, but in my mind, and especially after seeing it again, without this ending the whole film is for naught. that ending is what the whole film was leading up to.. love it or hate it. think about the things gigolo joe says in Rouge City.. "those who created us are constantly looking for those who created them." and later: "humans hate us because they know that when it all ends, the only ones left will be us" if you're one of those that saw this movie once and didn't like it, i reccommend at least renting it, and giving it another shot.

Summary: Interesting, but...
Review: A lot of the reviews posted previous to this one have argued between the respective styles of Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg. People have said that although this movie may have seemed boring at first, many of Kubricks' masterpieces were originally received the same way. I'm sorry, but I see a huge difference between the boring, ambling pace of "A.I." and the meticulous, meaningful pacing of "2001", "Full Metal Jacket", "A Clockwork Orange", and so forth. Sure, some of the ethical questions are interesting (the ambivalence of human nature, how far is too far when it comes to our own creations) but, c'mon people, these aren't exactly original themes that have been completely missing from literature/film/etc. in the past. I've also seen previous reviews stating that this movie contains the intelligence that is missing from other films these days. While I agree that most cinema is consistently being dumbed down, I hardly think that the fake Hollywood sentiment in this "Pinnochio" remake qualifies as intelligent. It may be worth a rental, but don't expect too much.

Summary: Underrated
Review: ...This movie is brilliant in every sense. The only part i dislike is the...scene in which they rip and torture poor useless hunky robots to bits. Anyway, Brilliant film.
