Review of A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) by Spencer P — 27 Oct 2016
My favorite Spielberg movie. Not his best, but it is my favorite and here's why. The good parts of this movie are masterpiece material. The entire first act is just flawless sci-fi made special by Haley Joel Osment's pitch perfect performance.
The second third.... falls apart. Hard. Ugly visuals, tonal suicide, and just bizarre choices all around. The final act, once again, masterpiece material. The last third plays like a very surreal fairy tail that really hits me at a deep, emotional level that I can't quite explain.
So with all that in mind, this movie is a complete mess, but it's such an interesting mess, that I still count it as my favorite Spielberg movie.
