Starring: Haley Joel Osment, Jude Law

Directed By: Steven Spielberg

It will take very little to immerse yourself in this world where the humans and robots have learned to co exist. It is the beginning of the new age where man is about to give Robots their dreams and hope. But in order to start this process they let a child to have a chance to dream. It begins as a simple experiment on a robot named David. But he might be our answers of playing God. A theme many film makers have tried to explore at several stages of their lives. But just imagine a film that lived in the mind of the Late Kubrick directed by the infectious Steven Spielberg. You probably getting one of the closest human accounts of a robot.

The film like the work of earlier Kubrick movies takes its time to grow on the audience. It just builds up to an ending of extroadinary human nature. But will David be mans final answer to many of the questions posed by him. Will he ever be able to create life? Will any other race be able to do that before us? These are age old questions but answered with such dexterity in this beautiful film. It is probably one of the greatest science fiction movies of our time.

The film begins with a boy Martin who lost his life and his parents not being able to reconcile with his loss. The father creates a robot after his death who begins to have emotions. But the fathers ulitmate goal is to make him dream. But dreams are far away from this boys mind. It has taken several of his kind to reach here. But a complex program has been fitted into his head to make him think otherwise. But this whole idea of dreaming is done in a very Disney sort of fashion indirectly poking fun at them. David begins to run astray to find out an ice princess that will change him into a human. But to help him go about this adventure he has a friend played by the immensely talented Jude Law. He brings a twitching brightness to the whole franchise. He approaches the role of a womanizer in an untimely animalistic fashion. He is only driven to only one goal of making his women happy. He encounters David and feels something unusual about his whole thinking process and is somewhat drawn to him. It makes him think and follow this kid robot.

There are images of robot carnage everywhere around the film. But it is the end of the film that gives us so many revelation that genuinely tear jerking. It almost makes you feel why Spielberg was so fascinated by this project and wanted to find an end that is more touching than words can describe it. It leaves us with alot more breath on our noses and a chance of watching something distinctively creative.
