A.I. - Mesterséges értelem

A.I. - Mesterséges értelem egy figyelemre méltó, extravagáns futurisztikus film, amely egyrészt a tömegeknek szóló mese akar lenni, másrészt filozófiailag próbálja boncolgatni a mesterséges intelligencia világunkban elfoglalt helyének legbonyolultabb témáit. Formailag tökéletes. John Williams zenéje ismét zseniális, Haley Joel Osment alakítása, akinek egy jelentős belső fejlődésen átesett karaktere a történet gerince kiváló, a futurisztikus világ kialakítása (különösen a záró "síró oroszlánok városa") pedig lélegzetelállító. De komplex rendezői szempontból a film furcsa és kaotikus. Ha már Spielberg átvette az anyagot, arra kellett volna koncentrálnia, ami közel áll hozzá, és egy álomszerű, érzelmileg magával ragadó és szívmelengető alkotást kellett volna készítenie. Kombinálni azt, ami nem kombinálható, nem kifizetődő. (2018.04.09)

Kubrick behind the concept, Spielberg the creator, and in the end, a beautiful film full of naive searching, simple and human thoughts, breathtaking performances by Osment and Law, and a conclusion that can mentally overwhelm. I admire this film for being able to combine traditional Spielbergian family values with a fascinating vision of the future, a plethora of technical gadgets, and many intellectual stimuli.

A little different than I expected, but that's probably what made A.I. that much better. Spielberg's science fiction movies are among my favorites, and this one's no exception. Especially the ending (featuring the World Trade Center) was very impressive. Spielberg simply knows how to do these things. Haley Joel Osment was great and really impressive in his special role. The special effects are top notch, Williams' music is one of the best, and Teddy is cool :-). (2007.07.25)

No, I wasn't expecting miracles, which was good, because there weren't any. The emotions of the story of the "dream robot" are maintained mainly by the flawless Osment, but it is a pity that Spielberg has kind of forgotten how to make an ending. Like Minority Report, A.I. is stretched into an awkward happy ending. If the credits had surfaced a few minutes earlier, it would have been an excellent film, but the offered end is hellish nonsense. It’s too bad. Convincing visually and in terms of acting, this is a science fiction with a little more thoughtful subtext, but Spielberg can do better. Add a half to the three stars. (2004.01.25)

A captivating and visionary sci-fi film that is unlike anything ever made before. It's not worth arguing about whether Kubrick would have done it better or worse. Spielberg made the film the way he wanted and did not embarrass his colleague. A technically flawless film with beautifully ethereal music and excellently chosen actors. A great experience and once again, one of the masterpieces of world cinema that will most likely never be fully appreciated. (2003.10.26)
