Plot Summary: In the not-so-far future the polar ice caps have melted and the resulting raise of the ocean waters has drowned all the coastal cities of the world. Withdrawn to the interior of the continents, the human race keeps advancing, reaching to the point of creating realistic robots (called mechas) to serve him. One of the mecha-producing companies builds David, an artificial kid which is the first to have real feelings, especially a never-ending love for his "mother", Monica. Monica is the woman who adopted him as a substitute for her real son, who remains in cryo-stasis, stricken by an incurable disease. David is living happily with Monica and her husband, but when their real son returns home after a cure is discovered, his life changes dramatically. A futuristic adaptation of the tale of Pinocchio, with David being the "fake" boy who desperately wants to become "real".

A visually-stunning epic marred by sentimentality

posted on 22 December 2007

AI: Artificial Intelligence was originally conceived by Stanley Kubrick and had the wily director lived long enough to complete it, one can well imagine it would have been a futuristic epic to rival his legendary 2001: A Space Odyssey. As it stands, however, once Kubrick's friend Stephen Spielberg took the reigns of the film it acquired a thick icing of improbabiliy and sentimentality that is at odds with the underlying bleakness of its story. Spielberg is of course a great director in his own right, but his and Kubrick's styles seem to clash uncomfortably in this film. David, played by the remarkable child actor Haley Joel Osment (a thinking-man's Macauley Culkin), is a "Mecca" or humanoid robot designed specifically to replicate the human emotion of love for his adoptive human parents. Assigned to a distraught family whose human son lies in a vegetative state, problems arise when the "real" son unexpectedly revives to compete with the robot child. Eventually abandoned in the woods by his loving surrogate mother (Improbability #1!), the boy sets out on a quest to become a real boy so he can retain his mother's love. Just in case the allusion to Pinocchio is not already clear enough, Spielberg stuffs blatant visual and verbal cues to the Disney classic about an artificial boy into A.I., so that we are left ultimately with a sickly sentimental and convoluted tale about how a boy's "dreams" can survive even in the wake of an environmental armageddon after the melting of the polar ice caps. Still, the movie is visually stunning and it has its moments. It is not a bad movie, exactly, but a movie that takes creative risks that don't always pan out.
