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.

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.

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.

3/5

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.

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

A-

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.

Long, depressing, heartbreaking. Stunning, futuristic, fantastic. One of the most underrated movies of all time, probably because it's so different from anything else ever filmed. Brilliant, eye-popping and memorable.

A haunting fairy‑tale for the digital age, Spielberg’s vision of a boy‑robot yearning for love becomes an elegy for what it means to be human. With its stunning visuals, aching performance from a young Haley Joel Osment and a narrative that braids artificial longing with existential desire, this film lingers long after the credits roll. It’s bleak, beautiful, terrifying—and utterly unforgettable.

Over-rated Spielberg flick is obvious and ineffective. It doesn't really work.
