Artificial Intelligence or A.I is a science fiction fantasy that bears similarities to Pinocchio and originated as a long-gestating project of director Stanley Kubrick that passed to his friend Spielberg after his death.
A.I focuses its story on a young robotic boy named David, a meccha, which is programmed to feel human emotion, to have human responsibility and to have the will to think and decide on its own. As an experiment, he had have been a permanent substitute for a couple who had their son Martin terminally sick. Unexpectedly and unfortunately for David their biological son Martin was able to return back and recover to its sickness which made a conflict and sparked jealousy between David and Martin over their parent’s love. It wasn’t long enough after Frances, the mother of Martin, made a decision to leave David to distant place and let him leave on its own.
The next act of the film focuses on David setting out on becoming a real boy worthy of becoming his mother’s affection. David struggled on his journey alongside with a pleasure providing mecha named Gigolo Joe together with his talking toy named Teddy. On one of his adventures, he was taken into a Roman Circus-Style named Flesh Fair, where mechas are totally destroyed, incinerated, decapitated and dismembered.
He then went to Rogue City to look for a creature named Blue Fairy and unravel the mystery of his existence. Police pursued on capturing Joe for his expired registration but avoids his capture by the help of David.
On the next act, they went into a totally submerged New York City where David’s Creator Hobby reveals the secret if his creation. David figured out that they were all just toys in the first place and were intended for leisure use. David planned on escaping and went into the deepest body of water and there he saw what he was looking for a long time, the Blue Fairy. He strongly believed that it will answer all of his questions and will finally have the love of her mother.
Over centuries he remained waiting and frozen and undisturbed until the species of alien found and revive him. Parts of his memories were projected by the aliens and made it possible for David to meet his long waited mother and made reconciliation with him.
Overall the story line, the castings, the role playing, visual effects and twisting of the film made it a record high 4 stars out of 5. The film was splendid and one of Spielberg's best of the best.
