  A flawed amalgam of styles that nevertheless demonstrates fantasy's invaluable potential to convey humanity.

  "David is 11 years old. He weighs 60 pounds. He is 4 feet, 6 inches tall. He has brown hair. His love is real. But he is not."
  
  A highly advanced robotic boy longs to become "real" so that he can regain the love of his human mother.

  A film with fantastic possibilities that is sadly flawed. Set well into the future, a cybernetics company makes the first life-like robot that is not only a boy child but imprints itself on the adopted mother and learns by developing responses based on love. Haley Joel Osment largely has to carry the film and at times I felt his innocent questioning expression wasn't quite up to it. We go back to the banality, frequently admitted in the film that, at the end of the day, he is no more than a machine. The machine may be a therapeutic tool for a mother who has lost her only natural child, but beyond that? It seemed incomprehensible to me that such a society would develop with so little in the way of ethical codes of practice, and so seemed to put the film more firmly in the younger-audience market, yet some of the scenes would be unacceptable to those younger audiences. That leaves quite a narrow bracket of, say, 12 to 18 years. The dynamics of Mother-Child emotion are played out quite well at certain times, and it would probably be enjoyed by parents who don't shy away from the obvious cheesiness or the sci-fi trappings. The film's best part, for me, was the ingenious ending, that brings further elements into play and unexpectedly gives some food for thought - though not enough to justify nearly two and a half hours of cheesy comic-adventure. Very Spielberg, but not quite in the class of his all-time greats.

  I liked it a lot but i wish Kubrick had directed it. Spielberg does a good job but it's just too....well, Spielbergy!

  Steven Speilberg?s modern take on the classic Pinnochio story is a high quality special effects film. With interesting characters and what starts out to be a magical futuristic story, soon turns out to a be a darkened tale of love and loss.

  Conceived by Kubrick and handed over to Spielberg...a futuristic retelling of Pinocchio with some really memorable high points

  2 of 5 stars for the sci-fi movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Frankly, I'd give this movie a 1 of 5 stars, however, it is really well made with great photography and clean special effects, so it gets a 2 of 5. Set in the future where a company made a mechanical boy. The kid who...( read more) played the robot did a good job. The story is insanely dull and excessively long at 2h25min. If they cut about 1h from the movie it would be OK and get a higher rating. Sorry, I do not recommend this movie; BTW, I lasted 1h30 before quitting for something else.

  This was a weird film which i didn't really enjoy but the kid from Sixth Sense is an extremely talented actor. The film has great SGI and great for Sci Fi fans
