Reverse Shot
Attempting to periodize a career as stuffed with highlights as Steven Spielberg's is not an easy task. Unlike, say, a Welles or a Godard, we don't find the same kind of radical makeover every five to seven years prompted by a geographic shift, an ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Reverse Shot

DVD Clinic (Scott Weinberg)
It’s a futuristic fairy tale, a heartfelt buddy flick, an exciting road movie, a dark and melancholy science-fiction allegory, a heartbreaking quest for love, a visually stunning, technically phenomenal and overall massive movie experience. ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at DVD Clinic (Scott Weinberg)
Film Quips Online (John R. McEwen)
In Spielberg's nearly 2½-hour visualization of Kubrick's idea, we are treated to some amazing sights and concepts, all of them intriguing and most extremely creepy. Despite its PG-13 rating and the presence of Osment in the leading role, this ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Film Quips Online (John R. McEwen)
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (Jack Garner)
What if we built a robot that loved us unconditionally? Could we love it back? And what would it do, if we couldn't?For that matter, what defines us as human -- and it as robot?Those are the issues raised byA.I. Artificial ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (Jack Garner)
Mark Reviews Movies (Mark Dujsik)
I really admire films like A.I. They ask the viewer to take time and
think about them. They challenge audiences to think about preconceived notions.
They challenge film lovers to take some time and realize that perhaps the most
simple solution can be ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Mark Reviews Movies (Mark Dujsik)
SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review
In terms of their approach to science fiction you could not find two directors more apart than Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg. Spielberg is a director to whom filmmaking is like Peter Pan discovering Never-Never Land - a place where he ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review

UpcomingDiscs.com (David Williams)
As A.I. gets underway, there’s a very odd title that appears early on in the film – it says “An Amblin / Stanley Kubrick Production”. Amblin / Stanley Kubrick? You’ve got to be joking. Is this the same Amblin that brought audiences Close Encounters of ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at UpcomingDiscs.com (David Williams)
Dustin Putman
The end result of the long, arduous, 25year journey of "A.I." is a sciencefiction film filled with endless imagination and wonder; a mature, almost devastating fairy tale; and a thoughtprovoking rumination on the importance of love, and determined hope, ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Dustin Putman

Aisle Seat (Mike McGranaghan)
If A.I. is sometimes maddening in its circuitous approach to the subject, that is only because it is filled with big ambitions. ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Aisle Seat (Mike McGranaghan)

Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
Stanley Kubrick until his untimely death was working on a project that weighed for a long time on his mind -- the subject of artificial intelligence. He worked on a treatment he prepared with Ian Watson based on the 1969 Brian Aldiss short story and the ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

Nick's Flick Picks (Nick Davis)
A.I.'s length, breadth, and circuitous structure seem to have infected my own review of it, which is acceptably indicative of the movie's strange spirit. Despite the precision of so many shots and the beautifully managed durability of ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Nick's Flick Picks (Nick Davis)

Like a kid waiting for Christmas morning, I've been counting the days until the release of "A.I. Artificial Intelligence."

Set in a time in the future after an ecological disaster has caused Manhattan and other coastal cities to be under a few hundred feet of water, the movie features a lot of wealthy people who are coping with the help of humanlike mechas.

EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)
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. ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)

Window to the Movies (Jeffrey Chen)
I guess this is my way of saying that this movie should be seen. My problem with the Kubrick movies I have seen is that they often explore issues of humanity without a truly human ingredient: emotion. They are detached, and that feeling tends to take ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Window to the Movies (Jeffrey Chen)
Looking Closer (Jeffrey Overstreet)
For two full hours, A.I. is a work of art, in which director Steven Spielberg demonstrates just how well he can imitate the style and perspective of Stanley Kubrick. Unfortunately, the movie is much longer than two hours. Stanley Kubrick, director of ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Looking Closer (Jeffrey Overstreet)
Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
It's been a very long time since we've been treated to a real science fiction movie.

ToxicUniverse.com (John Nesbit)

Goatdog's Movies (Michael W. Phillips, Jr.)
He wanders into a Kubrickian nightmare world that exists on the edge of the seas that rose after the polar icecaps melted. It is like Las Vegas on acid. "Mecha" pleasure machines and tacky brothels fill the streets. Meanwhile, "orgas" (organic ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Goatdog's Movies (Michael W. Phillips, Jr.)
Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
The late Stanley Kubrick's name graces
the intro to A.I.: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE alongside that of Steven Spielberg's, due to his having

Filmtracks (Christian Clemmensen)
Whatever flaws the score for A.I. has, they are the fault of the
extremely flawed plotline of the film. Williams got caught in the middle
of a film torn in two opposite directions, and did his best to score each scene
appropriately. Thus, ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Filmtracks (Christian Clemmensen)
The Movie Mom (Nell Minow)
Cross "2001" with "ET" and "Blade Runner" and throw in some "Pinocchio," some "Wizard of Oz," some "Velveteen Rabbit" and a touch of "Our Town," and you might have some sense of what to expect from "A.I." It is an ambitious, complex, provocative movie ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at The Movie Mom (Nell Minow)
The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)
Curiously, and despite an emotionally bittersweet finale, "A.I." lacks feeling, in a way proving its own point. We sympathize with David, but can we ever really love someone who is not, after all, human? To the extent that we do love him is the ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)

The Movie Insider (Kyle Smith)
Opinions over A.I. will vary, and expectantly so. However, no moviegoer can or should ignore it, both as a lasting love letter from Stanley Kubrick or a testament to the brilliance of Steven Spielberg. ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at The Movie Insider (Kyle Smith)
Deep Focus (Bryant Frazer)
In the 1960s and early 1970s, an especially fertile ground for science fiction literature, the obsessively thoughtful Stanley Kubrick made a pair of science fiction films that are enduring classics of the genre. 2001: A Space Odyssey considered ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Deep Focus (Bryant Frazer)

Flipside Movie Emporium (Rob Vaux)
Filmmaking on this level always demands high standards, and A.I.'s failures still stand above what most movies even aspire to.
