Artificial Intelligence: AI is a remarkable, extravagant futuristic film that, on the one hand, wants to be a fairy tale for the masses and, on the other hand, seeks to philosophically discuss the most complex topics of artificial intelligence in our world. In formal terms, it is perfect. John Williams’ music is once again brilliant, the performance of Haley Joel Osment, whose character’s great inner development is the basis of the story, is also brilliant, and the design of the futuristic world (especially the final “weeping lion city”) is breathtaking. But from a complex directorial point of view, the film is strange and chaotic. As it was Spielberg who took over this project, he should have focused on what is his strong suit and made it into a dreamy, emotionally engaging and heartwarming work. Combining the uncombinable does not pay off.

A post-humanity horror film and a film that strays heavily from Spielberg's previous style. It feels very closed, isolated, surreal, and most importantly, fatal. Despite its piecemeal screenwriting and production missteps, it is an exceptional film in how convincingly it closes the human chapter. Not just in the story, but also in the work with visuals, with Kaminski working with a tightly defined, hazy space and the role of sounds and music here uncharacteristically subdued for Spielberg and Williams, giving the film the impression of a memory even as you watch.

I'm not sure if Stanley Kubrick would have gotten more out of this material, but I definitely don't think he would have made it as sickeningly sweet as Spielberg. These are exactly the elements I don't like about his films. That excessive sweetness that tries to force tears into your eyes. Here, however, I didn't even like the story, which may be too inspired by Pinocchio, but by shifting it into the sci-fi realm, it tries to be different.

A concept from Stanley Kubrick, directing from Steven Spielberg, and in the end, a beautiful film full of naive searching, simple and human thoughts, breathtaking performances by Haley Joel Osment and Jude Law, and a conclusion that will blow your mind. I admire this film for being able to combine traditional Spielbergian family values with a fascinating vision of the future, a plethora of technical gadgets, and many intellectual stimuli.

A little different than I expected, but that's probably what made A.I. that much better. Spielberg's science fiction movies are among my favorites, and this one's no exception. Especially the ending (featuring the World Trade Center) was very impressive. Spielberg simply knows how to do these things. Haley Joel Osment was great and really impressive in his special role. The special effects are top notch, Williams' music is one of the best, and Teddy is cool :-).
