'Artificial Intelligence' is the story of David (Haley Joel Osment), the first mecha (a futuristic term for a mechanized human being) designed with the ability to love. A couple whose son is in a coma "adopts" David to help them recover from their loss. Naturally, things do not go as planned, and David is forced to leave the mother (Frances O'Connor) he's been "imprinted" to love, and make his way in the world. Traveling with Teddy, a hi-tech stuffed bear, David escapes the Flesh Fair, where angry humans destroy mechas to "purge artificiality," and unexpectedly befriends Gigolo Joe (Jude Law), a robot designed to pleasure women. Joe agrees to help David in his quest to become human.
Director Stanley Kubrick originally developed A.I., at one point asking Spielberg to direct it. When Kubrick passed away, Spielberg took the reins. Using a treatment and thousands of drawings commissioned by Kubrick, Spielberg wrote his own screenplay (his first since 1979's 'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind').

one of my favourite all time films, I really believe this is a 'marmite' type film, you either love it or hate it, in my eyes its incredibly touching and an intresting portrayal of the future. Plus that lil guys so cute!!

i read the original short story `super toys last all summer long`many years ago and when i heard stanley kubrick was directing the film version i was really excited.fate unfortunately stepped and we were robbed of his vision.so steven spielberg took over and apart from a few of his usual mushy bits,this is a great film.you can tell which bits would have been kubricks (most of the first half) and where spielberg took over.the story is very good,the visual effects are stunning and all the actors are on top form.i must admit the end always has me in tears as david finally gets what he wants but at great cost to him.heard negative reviews about this film ? give it a go,you will be surprised.
