Consensus: A curious, not always seamless, amalgamation of Kubrick's chilly bleakness and Spielberg's warm-hearted optimism, A.I. is, in a word, fascinating.

Reviews for A.I. Artificial Intelligence
Top CriticAt heart it's a terribly anguished expression of rejection, loneliness and love. If only it knew when to stop.

Top CriticUnquestionably worth seeing...
10/30/02
At least it restates HAL's case with commendable vehemence and a kaleidoscopic ingenuity.
03/03/02
The blending between Spielberg's childish sentiment and Kubrick's cold, hard stare is remarkable. It's so expertly made that it takes the breath away.
01/27/02
A.I. is an enthralling piece of filmmaking, and the least flabby Spielberg picture in several years -- until the ending.
10/28/01
It's an almost laughably creaky museum piece.
10/12/01
Top CriticIt will probably please neither lovers of the late film maker's cerebral work, or fans of the incorrigible populist's crowd-pleasing blockbusters.
09/10/01
Top CriticSteven Spielberg tries to rescue the world's most elusive filmmaker from an unhappy ending.

This may be the first solipsistic epic since 2001, but it has none of that film's wonder or mystery.
07/23/07
It's odd to see the nearly infallible Steven Spielberg so visibly unsure of himself.
07/14/07
At heart it's a terribly anguished expression of rejection, loneliness and love. If only it knew when to stop.
02/09/06
Steven Spielberg's A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is a return to sci-fi in true form.
12/06/05
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.
08/09/05
The demands of the story would have been better served by Kubrick.
12/06/04
[The] middle section [of A.I.] contains perhaps Spielberg's finest work, ever.
09/06/04
Although the film itself and its immaculate pacing keeps us believing his love is real – it is impossible to be intellectually honest and come to that conclusion.
07/13/04
It turns out that Kubrick was right. The problems this story presented couldn’t be solved after all.
