Absolute garbage
I wrote my college paper about Steven Speilberg. I am an ardent fan and love his work, even parts of "1941." However, I squirmed along with several other filmgoers at the premiere of this film. Finally, several people around me could no longer take it. They started to walk out. These were not disgruntled teens. The people who walked out were disgusted. I can't say that I've ever been as disappointed by Steven's work as I am with this film. It isn't just bad, it's insultingly bad. Watching it again would be pointless. Don't waste your time. You've been warned. I spent three months on another website debating with a film critic why I hated this film so much (abusing children for one... it's tasteless!).

Heart clenching
This movie made me cry so much toward the end. I loved it, I've never seen a movie quite like this one.

A.I., is a great ride, with philosophical questions...
Few sci-fi movies invite as much thought and consideration as 'A.I.' Large philosophical questions are put before the viewer to engage the heart and mind, while we're dazzled by some of the most imaginative scenes ever put on film. We live in an age when true artificial intelligence no longer seems far fetched, and the real horizon brings relevance to issues, such as our responsibility to the entities we might one day create.

Speilberg's design team created amazing worlds that range from sunny up-scale suburbs, to haunting techno garbage dumps, where abandoned mechas (mechanicals) go in search of spare parts...a replacement jaw, an arm or leg. Or Rouge City, a Las Vegas-like town where anything can be had for a price. And New York City, decayed and submerged in some future decade. In a world where many humans (orgas, or organics) feel disenfranchised, they hold Flesh Fairs, assemblies of frenzied hatred where mechas are destroyed in the most violent ways possible.

Haley Joel Osment ('The Sixth Sense') is the child-mecha, designed to know and feel love. He is imprinted, bonded to a childless couple who, though well-meaning, abandon him due a turn of events. The imprint is deep, and will haunt him through a vast journey to regain the love he knew from his adopted mother. Jude Law, in a memorable role as Gigolo Joe, is a "lover-mecha" created with an illicit purpose. A. I., is a song of the spirit, an eternal search by an innocent created mind to regain a love interrupted by hard dealings in a hard world. As Gigolo Joe says, "They created us too smart, too quickly, and in too large numbers".

There is a yearning edge that leans toward sentimentality, but if we can't occasionally connect with such stories, we may as well pull the plug on everything else. Though a couple of aspects were mildly disappointing, 'A.I.' is storytelling and film production on steroids, and the sum of its parts are too good to ignore.

Great photography, dull story
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 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.

Mr. know as a simile of Library
I like very much the scene where it appears Mr. know as a simile of a Library of the future where we can see that even in the form of holograms, the disambiguation continue through the basic principles of categorization in classes in order to find the information we need.
