Apparently I live in a world in which films like "AI" and people like Donald Trump are widely regarded as very smart, when all I'm hearing from them is a lot of claptrap and gibberish. Mr. Spielberg should reacquaint himself with words likeApparently I live in a world in which films like "AI" and people like Donald Trump are widely regarded as very smart, when all I'm hearing from them is a lot of claptrap and gibberish. Mr. Spielberg should reacquaint himself with words like "plausibility" and "verisimilitude."

And, frankly, I would never have thought that anyone, even a Spielberg or a Trump, could have the monstrous arrogance to write a line like, "Certainly, human beings must be the key to the meaning of existence."

Now, if you'll excuse me, I feel I must vomit.… Expand

I thought it was a very strange film. I saw it when I was very young and I feel like someone was just trying to make another version of ET. It did however tug on the heart strings a bunch. But the end was just weird.

Far from being the complete disaster of a movie that some would have you believe A.I certainly gets many things right. The plot, revolving around the ability to produce life-like artificial children, is certainly an interesting concept andFar from being the complete disaster of a movie that some would have you believe A.I certainly gets many things right. The plot, revolving around the ability to produce life-like artificial children, is certainly an interesting concept and the film does on occasions raise some interesting questions The performances, particularly from Hayley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense), are also very good.

As a result, despite coming across as a little disjointed in places, A.I is a more than passable piece of sci-fi for the much of its running time. Unfortunately many viewers will remember only the apparently rushed and poorly explained ending and the fact that Spielberg has gone online to help clear it up speaks volumes for how it was received.… Expand

The camera angles are beautifully positioned and the camera movements flow smoothly. Haley Joel Osment and Jude Law give terrific performances and the futuristic setting is entirely believable and well created. But for the majority of the second half, the film becomes tiresome. Every scene is filled with some implausible and unbelievable circumstance and the final ending almost seems as if Spielberg was attempting to give humanity a pat on the back for our "spirit" while ignoring our blood lust and violent nature. Then comes the resolution, which is simply horrendous. Spielberg introduces a new element to the plot as if trying to give homage to a truly great film from his past. Unfortunately, while the connection is seen, it is unrelatable and fails to enhance this film in any way. In fact, it becomes more of a detriment than anything else. Artificial Intelligence thus ways in as only slightly above average, entirely due to the first half of the film, and pales in comparison to Spielberg's true masterpieces.… Expand

A.I. is quite possibly the strangest and most disturbing movie I've ever seen. The special effects and the teddy bear were cool as hell, but the whole story was just freaking creepy.

Artificial Intelligence is a miscalculation, and we can probably attribute that because it was Stanley Kubrick's unfinished vision.

While not the greatest story line, and it does lack in that department it does show you new aspects. It makes you feel angry and sad for robots at the same time during some points in the movie.

It makes you feel angry and sad for robots at the same time during some points in the movie. It has some nice special effects, and I would have to say the ending is the best part, because it's heart wrenching. It's a good movie to watch if you have the time, nothing spectacular but just a good movie.… Expand

The movie was actually pretty good. The ending sucked to me though. I guess just watch and decide for yourself.

Boring.
Speilberg has turned what is a promising premise for a movie into a dull convoluted bore.
Would of loved to of seen what Kubrick would of done with this.
