AI: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (Theatrical Release USA 2001)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

AI: Artificial Intelligence—classic Spielberg movie—delivers a terrific piece of entertainment from its beginning scene to its ending scene. Spielberg captures human desire for love and belonging within a family environment to perfection. Hayley Joel Osment perfectly orchestrates that desire into a completely winning piece of entertainment that deserves classic status and placement within the family home video collection. The movie has a superb supporting cast selection (Sam Robards, Frances O’Conner, Jake Thomas, Jude Law, William Hurt, Eugene Osment, and Brendan Gleeson) accompanied with outstanding voicing by Robin Williams, Ben Kingsley, Meryl Streep, and Chris Rock.
