Critics 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.

Wendy Ide

Times (UK)

Spielberg’s future world is densely detailed and, although the film is tonally inconsistent, this remains one of the director’s most interesting and underrated works.

William Goss

Film.com

A confined domestic drama, a considerable morality tale, a fleeting futuristic noir, a persecution parable, an on-the-nose fairy tale adventure... and then it keeps going.

Michael D. Reid

Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada)

Steven Spielberg has managed the seemingly impossible: a harmonious marriage of his own brand of glowing optimism and the cynical, alienating style of the late Stanley Kubrick.

Rated: 3/5

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)

A movie with magical moments and force but lacking in sustained narrative power.

A.I. isn't without a few hiccups, but in my opinion, is severely underrated when it comes to Spielberg's credits as a director.

It blew me away when I saw it in 2001 in the theater. It blew me away again when I watched it with my daughter 15 years later and just rocked my world (and hers) again on the 3rd re-watch. We've been on a Spielberg kick lately and A.I. still ranks as my favorite. It's shocking how much 'Megan' borrowed from this film. There are so, so, so many moments that will stick forever (I absolutely love 'Teddy'). This story carries so much weight and meaning on so many levels, along with the brilliant cinematography, music, effects, editing and pacing. Easily one of the greatest pieces of sci-fi ever put to film...in my opinion, it's sandwiched between 2001 and The Abyss.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great piece of sci-fi. always makes me cry when I watch it. That ending is both sad and wonderful at the same time. If you are the sort of person who feels alone a lot I think this will hit you pretty hard. That kid couldn't have done a better job.

Learning that this was a Kubrick film before he passed and Spielberg took over makes a lot of sense. Its a weird tonal mish mash from start to finish. Incredible child acting.

It is a captivating movie and like a lot of good science fiction ahead of its time. Both politically strong and a wonderful metaphor for the archetypal orphan child. Highly recommend

This movie 🍿 is a favourite of mine from the first time I ever saw it, seems underrated to me. Maybe it could have been done better. I challenge anyone to try, but don't bother without the voice of Robin Williams.

It might as well be too optimistic for Kubrick, but yet another time Spielberg crafts another compelling picture.
