Reviews for A.I. Artificial Intelligence
Top CriticTemperamentally, Spielberg and Kubrick are such polar opposites that A.I. has the moment-to-moment effect of being completely at odds with itself.
10/29/01
Top CriticThe most philosophical film in Kubrick's canon, the most intelligent in Spielberg's, and quite possibly the film with the most contemporary relevance that either one has made since Kubrick released Dr. Strangelove in 1964.
07/16/01
Top CriticThe most controversial conversation-piece to hit the dumbed-down American movie scene since heaven knows when.
06/29/01
Top CriticTechnically dazzling yet emotionally accessible to the inner child in everyone from 9 to 90.
06/29/01
Top CriticIts heart is in the right place. But the intelligence behind the rest of the movie is, well, a little too artificial.
06/29/01
Top CriticFascinating, if uneven and ultimately rather silly.
06/29/01
Top CriticThe real joy of the movie for me, and why I recommend it despite everything, was watching Spielberg salute Kubrick, his friend and mentor, while at the same time defy him.
06/29/01
Top CriticThe structureless, meandering, slow-motion endlessness of Kubrick combined with the fuzzy, cuddly mindlessness of Spielberg.
06/29/01
Top CriticIt's astounding because, like so much of Kubrick's work, it resurrects the sense of cinema as an ongoing emergency.
06/29/01
Top CriticThe combination of genres -- science fiction with fairy tale -- often triumphs but sometimes misfires.
06/29/01
Top CriticIt ends up a glorious failure, an impressive mess.
06/29/01
Top CriticHowever you take it, the film works from an immensely challenging and rewarding text.
06/29/01
Top CriticThe boldest go-for-broke film released by a Hollywood studio since Apocalypse Now.
06/29/01
Top CriticIt could bear the initials 'E.D.' -- emotionally deficient.
06/29/01
Top CriticA movie both wonderful and maddening.
06/29/01
Top CriticHappily, the beauty shows up before the frustrations set in.
06/29/01
Top CriticA posthumously completed step for Kubrick and a step forward for Spielberg.
06/29/01
Top CriticIt's the kind of screwup you get only from a master filmmaker.
06/29/01
Top CriticThe best fairy tale -- the most disturbing, complex and intellectually challenging boy's adventure story -- Mr. Spielberg has made.
06/28/01
