A film that might make you cry watching it is just as likely to give you the creeps thinking about it afterward, which is as it should be.

(Spielberg) tells the story slowly and films it with lucid, mesmerizing objectivity, creating a mood as layered, dissonant and strange as John Williams's unusually restrained. modernist score.

This is the greatest movie ever **** perhaps, more importantly, it is one of the most relevant movies of our time—especially now, in the 2020s and beyond, as real AI enters our everyday **** is a movie that cracked the code of love, explained it, explored it, and ultimately elevated it to something divine. It found a beautiful way to bridge the divide between so many human **** perhaps that is what makes it truly great: it doesn’t simply tell us what love is. It makes us think, disagree, feel, wonder, question, and ultimately understand something deeper about what it means to love—and what it means to be human.Because the greatest movies should do exactly that. They should not simply give us answers. They should make us think, feel, question, disagree, love, and wonder.That is what a truly great movie is supposed to do.

It's not only a robot movie, it's not only a future movie, and it's not only an alien movie, it's about a robot who really love his human mother, and it's heartwarming, sad, emotional, and have a deeper meaning, A.I. Artificial Intelligence is reminds me of Spielberg's previous movie with have kinda the same theme, E.T and Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, while E.T was fun, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind was a great journey, A.I. Artificial Intelligence is heartwarming and sad, overall A.I. Artificial Intelligence is another amazing Steven Spielberg's movie.

Audacious, technically masterful, challenging, sometimes moving, ceaselessly watchable. What holds it back from greatness is a failure to really engage the ideas that it introduces.

Less a movie than a seething psychological bonanza.

A slickly crafted fable, however dark, but it's shot with haunting poetry.

The result is fascinating, if uneven and ultimately rather silly. Problems with the ending, so common these days, dog this visionary film as well.

By the end A.I. exhibits all its creators' bad traits and none of the good. So we end up with the structureless, meandering, slow-motion endlessness of Kubrick combined with the fuzzy, cuddly mindlessness of Spielberg.

A fantastic and tragic tale that explores what it means to be human and the future of our world.

Learning that this was a Kubrick film before he passed and Spielberg took over makes a lot of sense. Its a weird tonal mish mash from start to finish. Incredible child acting.

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 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.

This movie was garbage. The storyline is horrible, the characters arent memorable and the special effects are bad.

Wayyyy too many ideas for one film. I was somewhat on board for the first 40 min when it seemed like the film was going to be a meditation on AI and humanity, but the hard left turn into an epic journey through this world that included a charming robot male sex worker, a "Flesh Fair" robot killing pit, an underwater Manhattan, and a time jump of 2000 years leading to an alien race studying humans after the end of the world -- was a bit much. It's just difficult to glean any centralized theme from this film when there's SO MUCH happening. 90's CG didn't help, some strange acting choices didn't help, I'm not a fan of how hard they leaned into the Pinocchio stuff, and the John Williams score severely overpowered any scenes from the beginning I actually did like. Would not recommend anyone spend 2.5 hours on this.
