!!Spoiler Free!!
The visuals are absolutely amazing. I made it a point to watch the
film casually, and to avoid studying every shot, but there were just
so many well-conceived, amazing shots. The sets and the effects were
great and unique, but I thought they used a bit too much neon, at
least for my tastes, since I think that's been done too often in
futuristic films.

WILL YOU LIKE IT?
(你會喜歡嗎?)

Now, I've read reviews that have claimed to have liked the film, but
had problems with the ending. I'll bet two bucks and my left nut that
they're the same people who had problems with the ending to "2001".
Yes, it's unconventional. Yes, it contains long stretches with no
dialogue. But dammit, people... use that organic mass wasting away
inside your skull and think. The film is intened to make you think.
It isn't meant to make you jump out of your seat, laugh your ass off,
or even applaud. I didn't feel like applauding at the end, because I
really didn't have time enough to think about what it meant. But a
long ride home in shitty Atlanta traffic afforded me the time I
needed.

(隨便翻譯)
"我有讀過一些聲稱喜歡這部電影，但對結尾有意見的影評，我敢打睹，他們
也是當初對2001太空漫遊的結尾不太苟同的同一群人，是的，這部電影是非傳
統的電影，是的，it contains long stretches with no dialogue，但是各位
，努力用你的大腦去思考，該片是部沒有意思要使你從座位上跳起來並大聲歡笑
的電影，甚至鼓掌叫好，影片結束時，我真的沒有想要鼓掌的感覺，因為我真
沒有足夠的時間去思考它真正要表達些什麼，但在回家塞車的路上，給了我足夠
的時間好好地去回想．"

This is the film for all you REAL film lovers out there... the ones
who watch DVD's 50 times, and stay up all night playing with all the
extra features, deleted scenes, documentaries, trailers... and the
film lovers who hover over this site and several others, looking for
snippets about films that haven't even been written yet, or films
from your favorite director, from a screenplay by your favorite
writer, starring your favorite actor. This is what it's all about -
and more. If you've never watched a movie made before 1980 that didn't
start with an opening crawl in big yellow letters, you may not
appreciate it fully.

(隨便翻譯)
"這是一部給所有""真正""的電影喜好者的電影，也就是那種會重覆觀看DVD
五十次，熬夜一整夜去把玩所有的額外資料(預告，刪除片段......)，
也是那種會成天逛遍各大網站去尋找各種有關電影消息的電影愛好者，或者
也是一部給喜愛這位導演兼編劇的人所看的電影，給喜愛該片主角的人所看
的電影，這也是它的訴求甚至還句含更多，如果你從來沒有看過1980年代以
前除了星際大戰以外的電影，你可能不會完全懂得如何欣賞該片"

But if you like Kubrick, it's almost impossible not to like "A.I."
This was SO Kubrick it was scary. It's like Spielberg channeled
Kubrick through that director's chair. Good God above, this film is
not E.T. in any way, shape or form. It felt like "2001" and "Clockwork
Orange" melted into one... that may sound strange, but that's the
feeling I got. Lots of moments where you don't really know how you're
supposed to feel. Awkward "Should I be laughing?" moments. God, I'm
getting all excited writing this - just thinking about how bold it was
for Spielberg to make a film that audiences will, for the most part,
not like.

(隨便翻譯)
"但如果你喜歡庫柏力克，你幾乎很難不喜歡A.I.，這部電影真的太庫柏力克化
了，真讓人感到害怕，這好像是史匹柏通過[黑洞頻率]在導演椅上和庫柏力克聯
絡，謝天謝地，這部電影一點也不像E.T.，整個結構看起來倒像2001太空漫遊和
發條橘子的融合體，這或許聽起來很怪異，但這就是我看完電影時獲得的感覺，
很多時刻你真的不曉得你應該要有何感覺，後知後覺的"我現在應該要笑嗎(這裡
的安排是要讓我笑嗎?)"的時刻，天啊，寫到這我越來越感到興奮了，試著想想
看，要史匹柏去拍一部大部份的人都不會喜歡的電影，對他來說是多大膽的事．"

You parents won't like it, your aunts and uncles won't like it, your
neighbors may not even see it if they catch word of mouth first. But
you'll like it if you love film so much that it hurts to see "Summer
Popcorn" do so well... to see that audiences gave that movie a "B" on
their way out of the theatre. They'll give this one a "B-" at best.
Most will give it a "C".

(隨便翻譯)
"你的父母不會喜歡它，你的阿姨舅舅叔叔嬸嬸不會喜歡它，你的鄰居可能連
看都沒有去看，如果他們先從別人口中獲得對這部片的觀感．但你會喜歡這片
如果你很很很喜愛電影且會為夏日爆米花電影能賺那麼多錢而且看到
一般觀眾在戲院出口的訪查時給夏日爆米花電影一個B的評價，但他們會只給
A.I.最好到一個B-，其至更差，大部份會給一個"C"上求這些事而感到心痛，
你會喜歡這片"

MY PREDICTION
(我的預測)
This film will likely make a ton of money its opening weekend, then
it will sag because of negative word of mouth. I really hate to sound
like an elitist, but it really frustrates me that people don't have
the patience to sit through something a little different. I will be
shocked if this is the biggest movie of the summer - shocked.

(隨便翻譯)
"這部電影的開票首週會賺入很多錢，然後會因為眾人負面的評價而往下
墜，我真的(很不願並)恨自己說起話來好像自己很行，但這真的很令我沮喪，
因為(我知道)人們對於稍為不一樣的東西是沒有耐心坐下來好好(接受並)欣賞的
，如果這部電影成為今年暑假最賺錢的電影的話，我會覺得很驚訝的(因為我以
為人們都和我想的一樣，沒有辦法懂得欣賞這樣的電影，若大賣，就證明我
預測說錯了) "


MY LAST WORDS
(我最後幾句話)
Perhaps the best way of expressing how I feel is to say that I now
feel guilty about enjoying Summer Popcorn films. They really
shouldn't be made. They are like junk food - they're made up of all
the worst things for you, you know what they're going to taste like,
and you feel bad later. But the reason McDonald's stays in business
is that people like to know what they'll be paying for. So filmmaker
and the rest provide their junk food for them, package it up in
familiar TV ads, serve it up with familiar actors, and even provide a
familiar storyline.

(隨便翻譯)
"或許現在最能表達我個感覺的話是--我現在為享受娛樂片而感到愉快有罪惡感
，他們不應該被拍出來，他們就像是垃圾食物-----涉及對某商家的言論，故略
----被商業形式大量製造出來的電影"

Steven Spielberg made a Stanley Kubrick film. You haven't seen it
before in another movie. Feel privileged. It will be a classic.

(隨便翻譯)
"史帝芬史匹柏攝製了一部史丹利庫柏力克電影，你從未在其他電影看
過這樣的內容，該感到自己有此特別的機會而高興，這片將會成為經典.

IMDB 觀眾觀後感
原文:

Los Angeles, CA
Date: 27 June 2001
Summary: 85% Kubrick, 15% Spielberg, 100% Acid

Walking into the movie theatre this Friday, you'll really have
no idea what to expect. The trailers have been vague, the television
spots are misleading, and the film itself is far darker and far more
"Kubrick" then you ever expected. I refuse to give away any of the
secrets, but I do want to applaud Haley Joel Osment for pulling off
a textured performance (yet again!), and Jude Law and Frances O'Conner
are two of the best actors working today. Stunning visuals, great mix
of warm and cold contrasting images. This is unlike any Spielberg
movie you've ever seen... and you might like that end result, or
loathe it.

直譯(隨便翻):
Summary: 85% 庫柏力克 + 15% 史匹柏 = 100% AcId
這個星期五當你走進戲院(看A.I.)時，你真的會不曉得該期待什麼.　預告片
的內容含糊不清，電視****刻意誤導，而這部電影本身卻是比你預期地還要黑暗
，還要"庫柏力克"化. 我不願透露太多內容，但我想要為海利喬奧斯蒙的表現
鼓鼓掌(是的，他再一次做到了!)，而裘德洛和法蘭西斯歐康那是現今最好的兩
個演員之一. 令人目炫神迷的視覺，融合了溫暖與冷酷的反差對比影像風格很棒
．這部電影一點也不像你以前所看過的史匹柏電影，因此，你有可能會喜歡這個
結果，或厭惡它.
