Don't Believe the Hype
Absolutely the worst movie.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
A.I is a bland but pretty film. Apparently, this was a project Stanley Kubrick wanted to work on desperately but could not, and eventually the entire project was helmed by Steven Spielberg. And herein lies the problem- Both their visions are different. Whilst Kubrick was a notoriously pessimistic (or nihilistic) filmmaker Spielberg is a child at heart, the always optimist. And the film doesn't know which theme to adapt. Haley Joel Osment- fresh off the success of The Sixth Sense is quite good as the main lead who happens to be a robot and the visuals are exciting. But the result is just meh.
Will Smith is definitely in this movie.You just have to look really hard and believe.
This film is just mind numbing.. I have watched it three times in a time span of a year and every time it just gets me. It's one of those films where you know the entire plot and you still find yourself in love with the film and re-watch it every year. I'd say it never bores me in the middle of the film.The movie definitely depicts selfish human beings and discrimination issues against the mechas, which can be cross referenced to racial problems in our society.It does scare me to think about the evolution of robots to the point where it'd really resemble a human being, but if I ever adopted an artificial intelligence child, I will love it with all my heart and appreciate it.
I have not read all the reviews, so I am not sure if anyone else has mentioned that this movie is very much like the movie D.A.R.Y.L. (an older movie about a robot boy). If you ask me, Stanly was inspired by D.A.R.Y.L, and decided that the story was so good that it had to be re-made better! Good job Stanly, and thanks Steven for finishing this work of art, at the request of Stanly's wife, after Stanly death. Stanly wanted a real robot to play the part of David (as Steven explains in the extras included with the DVD release), but it was just too much to ask for. Haley Joel Osment is the best boy actor, to play the part of David, as Steven makes very clear. At times this movie can be quite boring, but it is well worth the wait, as it has a great ending (said to be one of the most depressing).
