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
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

Film Values/Family Values (H. Arthur Taussig)
This slow, uneventful and episodic, morally and philosophically conflicted meditation on the nature of humanity will be of little interest to youngsters beyond the robots. ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Film Values/Family Values (H. Arthur Taussig)

Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan)
A not quite seamless, not completely satisfying but invariably attention-grabbing combination of divergent themes, genres and even story lines. ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan)

eFilmCritic.com (Brian Mckay)
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 ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Brian Mckay)

Lorsque Stanley Kubrick quittait ce monde, le 7 mars 1999, il laissait derrière lui un projet de film longuement mûri.

Joel B. Kirk
Based very loosely on the 1969 Brian Aldiss short story, 'SuperToys Last All Summer Long,' A.I. is a project that Kubrick wanted to do in the early 80s but held back due to the cost of effects. After his passing, the last film he would direct, EYES WIDE ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Joel B. Kirk
Movie Parables (Michael Elliott)
Neither vintage Spielberg nor classic Kubrick. This hybrid film borrows from the vision of both directors with disappointing results. ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Movie Parables (Michael Elliott)
Austin Chronicle (Marc Savlov)
There's nothing more frustrating than a posthumous work from your favorite filmmaker that doesn't quite live up to expectations. In this case it's Stanley Kubrick, who had been working on A.I. for over a decade before his death. Unable to figure out ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marc Savlov)
Palo Alto Weekly (Susan Tavernetti)
The Popkorn Junkie
Steven Spielberg's "A.I." is a tale about a little mechanical boy ( Haley Joel Osment ) created by a caring craftsman (William Hurt). The toy boy has such heart that he wishes he were a real boy. The film shows his trials and tribulations as he deals ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at The Popkorn Junkie

Its heart is in the right place. But the intelligence behind the rest of the movie is, well, a little too artificial. ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at Washington Post (Desson Thomson)

3BlackChicks Review (Rose 'Bams' Cooper)
Don't be fooled by the hype: A.I. is nothing more than a rambling, pointless, godawful boring paean to Spielberg's Neverneverland fixation. ...read the complete Artificial Intelligence: AI movie review at 3BlackChicks Review (Rose 'Bams' Cooper)
