"A.I." is based on a short story called "Super-Toys Last All Summer" by science fiction author Brian Aldiss. Haley Joel Osment is absolutely amazing as David, a futuristic Pinocchio, that has been programmed by Professor Hobby (William Hurt), to love humans. David is adopted as a test case by a Cybertronics employee (Sam Robards) and his reluctant wife (Frances O'Connor), whose own terminally ill child has been frozen cryogenically until a cure for his disease is found. David becomes part of the family just in time for the couple's own son, Martin (Jake Thomas), to return home in good health. After Monica reads the boys the story of Pinocchio, a forlorn David wishes for the Blue Fairy to grant him mortality. And the adventure begins.
The movie's special effects are awesome, combine the brillance of Kubrick and the magic of Spielberg, AI is a must see for all Sci-Fi fans.
