A.I. Is a good union of two great film makers., 1 July 2001
Author:

I saw A.I. on the first night it ran here and I must say I was disappointed
in the size of the audience. How strange to see so few people show up for a
Spielberg film. This film did not enjoy the normal hype that most of
Spielberg's films enjoy, I think I know why. Lack of product placement.
They're may have been some somewhere but I didn't see them. A.I.'s story
line and flawless visual effects reflect what I can only describe as the
meeting of two great film makers. Kubrick (who started work on the project
after he read the Aldiss book in '83),and Steven Spielberg who's long list
of intelligent blockbusters made him the perfect person to bring this story
to the screen. I could, I believe see the story boards and concepts Kubrick
developed and I could also see the sensitivity that Spielberg added to
scenes and characters. These two things are not entirely separate in good
Science Fiction. All good science fiction has some human sensitivity in it
otherwise it would just be a horror film. The script reflects some of the
darkness and coldness that sometimes underlies each character human and
machine, there is no fear of this in the story. This darkness draws us on in
the story.
The visual effects are stunning and come darn close to genius. The story
line takes us in and the visuals make it almost real.
I wish I had Mr. Mannings grip of syntax, but all in all at the end of the
day it's good science fiction and a good story too. I beleve that Stanley
Kubrick's choice of asking Steven Spielberg to make this film was the kind
of genius that Kubrick showed in all his work. It is a tribute to both men
that they saw a vision of something and worked toward it's creation. I think
they came to a great place in film making.
