Product Description
Movie DVD
Amazon.com
History will place an asterisk next to A.I. as the film Stanley Kubrick might have directed. But let the record also show that Kubrick--after developing this project for some 15 years--wanted Steven Spielberg to helm this astonishing sci-fi rendition of Pinocchio, claiming (with good reason) that it veered closer to Spielberg's kinder, gentler sensibilities. Spielberg inherited the project (based on the Brian Aldiss short story "Supertoys Last All Summer Long") after Kubrick's death in 1999, and the result is an astounding directorial hybrid. A flawed masterpiece of sorts, in which Spielberg's gift for wondrous enchantment often clashes (and sometimes melds) with Kubrick's harsher vision of humanity, the film spans near and distant futures with the fairy-tale adventures of an artificial boy named David (Haley Joel Osment), a marvel of cybernetic progress who wants only to be a real boy, loved by his mother in that happy place called home. Echoes of Spielberg's Empire of the Sun are clearly heard as young David, shunned by his trial parents and tossed into an unfriendly world, is joined by fellow "mecha" Gigolo Joe (played with a dancer's agility by Jude Law) in his quest for a mother-and-child reunion. Parallels to Pinocchio intensify as David reaches "the end of the world" (a Manhattan flooded by melted polar ice caps), and a far-future epilogue propels A.I. into even deeper realms of wonder, even as it pulls Spielberg back to his comfort zone of sweetness and soothing sentiment. Some may lament the diffusion of Kubrick's original vision, but this is Spielberg's A.I. (complete with one of John Williams's finest scores), a film of astonishing technical wizardry that spans the spectrum of human emotions and offers just enough Kubrick to suggest that humanity's future is anything but guaranteed. --Jeff Shannon

 A. I. DVD June 26, 2009
Barbara Albertson (Federal Way, Wa.)
A.I. is a wonderful movie if your interest are in the futuristic realm. I found it quite compelling. It kinda makes you wonder if this is what lies ahead? I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
"Make Me A Real Boy." A Futuristic Version Of "Pinnocchio." Another Classic From Steven Spielberg. Dark And Uplifting. June 21, 2009
HAMLET
This excellent film is a futuristic version of "Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi. Steven Spielberg outdoes himself with this sci-fi/drama classic. I won't rehash the story, as it would only spoil the pleasure of the film. An excellent cast, combined with a heartwrenching score by John Williams make this a classic for all ages. The film should not have been rated PG-13. It shoujld have been rated PG, as the "Sexual Content" was very minimal (Steven removed various sex scenes that Kubrick had in mind).
 I Heart You Mommy. April 28, 2009
M. B Cole (Las Vegas, NV)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Sometime in the future, Monica and Henry Swinton have a child who becomes very ill and close to death. With hopes looking bleak, Henry tries his best to make his wife Monica happy by buying her a robot. Not any kind of robot though, but a child robot. This robot is the first of it's kind. It's the first robot to ever have the emotion of love. While nothing can replace her son, she is at first shocked and mad that Henry would do such a thing. But she accepts this robot. This human-like boy. This David. Before the robot can love though, you have to say some secret words that are programmed into its' database. As she becomes more and more used to David, she decides to finally say the secret words to him. And in just seconds, David loves her. David does everything he can for his mommy so she will love him also. And then sometime later, Monica and Henry's real son, Martin, comes home. The affection and love that the family once had for David, slowly is shifted to Martin. As time goes by, David starves for the attention again for his mother and will do anything for it, even the mean things that Martin makes him do. When things become to get out of hand the family decides to get rid of David. As David's world begins to crash around him, he seeks out the blue fairy that his mom used to read about to him. The fairy that could turn a wooden boy into a real boy. Because if he becomes a real boy, then his mommy will love him.
What a sad and great movie. Haley Joel Osment is so good at playing this robot boy it's unbelievable. When Monica is dropping David off in the woods like a dog, I had to turn to stone because I didn't want to shed a tear in front of my friend. Honestly the way I think of David is a dog sort of. They might not have the understanding like a human, but they still have feelings. And seeing her drop him off like a dog and telling him to stay while he's crying and screaming for her and how much he loves her and how he's sorry for whatever he did... well it was just heart breaking actually. Sometimes I feel so bad for David that I have to say to myself, "Self, He's JUST a robot." But when he was made, he was given all the emotions that he is almost alive. When Monica tells him the password to love, it was some really good acting on Haley's part. Seeing his sort of weird robot smile face go into a face of getting flowed over with the emotion of love was really good. The first time he's hurt, and he freaks out, and seeks protection, you almost feel it with him with the intensity and shock on his face. I love this part of the movie so much.
As others say, the movie feels like there are 3 acts, and it really does. After David is dropped off into the woods, act 2 begins and A.I. takes a total different feel. David begins his search for his blue fairy and comes across Gigolo Joe (Jude Law) and many other fascinating and scary places. While David goes through these ordeals, the whole time I'm thinking to myself, "Dang, and all he wants to do is make his mom happy and be loved by her, and now he has to go through all this pain, for nothing". To me, I kind of wished the movie had stopped at the end of act 2. The whole movie made me feel so sad and lost for this little robot boy, so why not end it there. Then act 3 begins, and while it still makes me sad, it takes away from the more powerful emotions that I had for David. I really don't even want to get into the ending, because, well, it's the ending and I don't want to ruin it (that is if you are one of the few that still haven't seen this movie).
In the end, while I keep saying this movie is sad, it's very entertaining in many ways. There are some funny moments, so it's not always gloomy. But yes, it is pretty hard to watch unless you can really detach yourself from David. I for one couldn't. Like I said though, I didn't consider him as a real boy, but more like a pet. I could never just drop my pet off in the woods like Monica did with David. Especially after his begging and pleading. So yeah, definitely give this movie a shot if you haven't seen it yet.
P.S. God I want a robotic teddy bear like Teddy.

A.I., Artificial Intelligence / B00003CXXP
*Spoilers*
When I rented this movie, I did not know what to expect, but I knew to expect "something weird", given the science fiction nature of the premise and the previous work of the talent involved. What I did not expect, however, was for this movie to be as moving as it was.
A.I. tells the story of a prototype robot, fashioned to look and act and even love as an innocent young child would. The premise is laid out flatly in the opening scene - the easy part is making a robot who can love a human, the hard part is finding a human who will love, truly love, the robot in return. When the young "boy" is cast aside from his human parents in a scene that is at least as much reminiscent of The Velveteen Rabbit as it is of Pinocchio, he wanders a harsh, cruel world searching for something - anything - that can make him a "real boy" and, he hopes, cause his 'mommy' to love him as much as she loves her "real son".
Our protagonist was programmed to think and behave as a child, and he does. With childlike innocence, he seizes fiercely on the idea of a "blue fairy" from his Pinocchio book who can turn him real. He stumbles through a world of backlashing crowds who publicly roast robots on stage in an attempt to return to something real; he charms disenchanted older robots who help him as much as they are able. When a "pleasure model" robot tells him, compassionately, that his 'mommy' "loves what you do for her, as my customers love what I do for them, but she doesn't love YOU", he resists, rebels against this unfortunate truth. He is willing to search until the end of time to find his mommy and, in doing so, demonstrates a depth of childlike love that she simply does not deserve and yet he gives anyway.
I deeply enjoyed this movie for its depictions of humanity. For the conflicted position of a father who is caught between his family's safety and a 'mere' constructed robot. For the casual cruelty of a young human boy who must reconcile his damaged body and the 'replacement' boy his mother loved in his absence. For the conflicted emotions of a mother who is loved by her family, but who must make sacrifices for each of these loves. For the hatred of the raging crowd, composed of varied individuals with varying emotions - sadism for some, yes, but with a willingness to halt the destruction for a single child, even if it is 'merely' a robot child. And for the humanity of childlike love, expressed paradoxically through a small robot.
This version provides a closed caption option for the hard of hearing. I do not own this movie - I rented this through my Blockbuster Online account. I enjoy the movie immensely and am considering purchasing a copy for my home library.
