Consensus: A curious, not always seamless, amalgamation of Kubrick's chilly bleakness and Spielberg's warm-hearted optimism, A.I. is, in a word, fascinating.

Synopsis: It is a time when natural resources are limited and technology is advancing at an astronomical pace. Where you live is monitored; what you eat is engineered; and the person serving you is not a person at all. It’s artificial. Gardening,... [More]

Shows a more complicated understanding of childhood than you would expect...

At heart it's a terribly anguished expression of rejection, loneliness and love. If only it knew when to stop.
08/16/07
This may be the first solipsistic epic since 2001, but it has none of that film's wonder or mystery.
07/23/07
It's odd to see the nearly infallible Steven Spielberg so visibly unsure of himself.

Top Critic Steven Spielberg's A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is a return to sci-fi in true form.
12/06/05
One of Spielberg's most ambitious and problematic films, a result of trying to blend two divergent sensibilities, his and Kubrick's, but as a sci-fi, it has both thematic and visual merits.
08/09/05
[The] middle section [of A.I.] contains perhaps Spielberg's finest work, ever.
09/06/04
Although the film itself and its immaculate pacing keeps us believing his love is real – it is impossible to be intellectually honest and come to that conclusion.
07/13/04
It turns out that Kubrick was right. The problems this story presented couldn’t be solved after all.
01/01/04
Striking in looks but peculiarly disturbing in tone, the futuristic tale that began as a Kubrick project and finished under writer-director Spielberg is more nightmare than feel-good fantasy.
05/20/03
From Kubrickese to Spielbergian, something got lost in the translation. What could have been a dark but brilliant film drags on until it finds some kind of happy ending
03/20/03
Spielberg's insistence on labouring the Pinocchio resonance becomes extremely jarring, and nostalgia for the wide-eyed charm of his 1982 masterpiece 'E.T.' strengthens as the film staggers to its over-wrought climax.
02/13/03
An apt tribute to Kubrick, blending a fascinating subject with unsettling imagery.
02/08/03
A.I. stands as a work that allows us to see ourselves in the things that we have created. For good or for bad, it is eye opening experience.
01/21/03
A.I. is beguilingly enervated by a terror of its own darkness, a frenzied chase down too many separate rabbit holes in an attempt to escape its troubling implications.
01/10/03
This could have been a great Spielberg movie. This could have been a great Kubrick movie. It is neither.
01/07/03
Though the film is far from perfect, (mainly Spielberg's clunky writing and that final third) merely the attempt to explore true science fiction themes makes A.I. admirable.
