Wouldn't fixing them up for simple labour tasks like cleaning or whatever, be more useful? maybe selling them on? and even if you did have to shut them down, just do it more humanly, why the need for all the violence?. Now surely these robots cost a lot to make, much time, effort, design etc.went into creating them, so surely destroying them is a complete waste. This lead me to the question of why do this to old, lost, outdated Mecha's? (the term for robots in this film which sounds a bit Japanese to me). It also seemed like a huge setup for not very much, just a few minutes of carnage, was all that fan fair really required?. Why would people of the future act like this towards simple machines? the whole sequence looked like some freaky red neck carnival. Now this really did seem too harsh for me, a completely disjoined idea that harks back to a 'Mad Max' type world. Once we leave the comfort of the family orientated first part of the film we pretty much straight away hit the Flesh Fair. The story is enthralling and draws you in.but oh so many questions arise Mr Spielberg, where to begin!. One could almost say the film adopts many visual concepts from other sci-fi films/genres, which do work on their own, but maybe not together with this story. The second half of the film then changes completely, gone is the sentiment and powerful family bound plot as we enter into a more seedy grim world. The pain of a mother who's child is at deaths door from disease, and the decision by her husband to offer her a brand new state of the art robot child that for the first time can learn and express love for its owner. The film is a massive story betwixt two ideas or genres almost, on one hand you have the first half of a film that centres around the human angst and emotion of trying to adapt to adopting a robot child. I was stuck and didn't know what to think. ![]() Lets begin, this film gave me a headache, not a bad headache, more of a problematic headache. Based on a short story by a writer I admit I've never heard of, yet the idea could easily be mistaken for work from the brains of Arthur C. Right.'A.I.', batten down the hatches mateys, this could be a big one.įrom the collective minds of Kubrick and Spielberg comes this lavish epic about a little robot boy who is brought into a young couples life. A.I Artificial Intelligence is a worthwhile viewing experience that is enthralling right up to the final shot.ĭamn it Spielberg you did it again! I thought you wouldn't get me but once again you made me cry whilst watching one of your films, sheesh!. Nonetheless, Spielberg managed to create something quite entertaining, captivating and memorable. Who know how much more ambitious the film would have been. Upon watching the film you must ask yourself, how this film would have turned out if Stanley Kubrick would have had the opportunity to direct it if he hadn't died. Fans of the genre will surely enjoy this riveting picture, and I must admit, I didn't expect to enjoy the film the way I did, but I was pleasantly surprised by the result. The best way I would describe the film is a spider web of thought, a film that just amps up its ideas to make them standout more due to its intricate plot and direction. The fact that it makes you think with its concept is the key factor to the film's entertainment factor. The film deals with an interesting subject, one that makes you ask questions, and that's what keeps you involved in the film. ![]() Artificial Intelligence is a wonderful Sci Fi picture that displays a stunning amount of creativity and wonderful ideas. As well as solid direction from Spielberg, he has a talented cast to work with, which only enhances the film's experience. However, with that being said, Spielberg manages to make something that is well constructed, entertaining, and thought provoking and memorable. Spielberg manages to make a fine picture here, and it's very interesting what he does with the material of another director, who unfortunately never got to make the film. The film has some striking visuals and wonderful acting along with a richly detailed storyline that grabs your attention from start to finish due to its intricate concept. Spielberg would craft this film based on notes that Kubrick left behind and was able to make a captivating, engaging picture that enthralled the viewer. Artificial Intelligence was a project originally started by director Stanley Kubrick, but never completed due to his death in 1999, and taken over by Steven Spielberg.
