...travel through garish landscapes that, as imagined by artist Chris Baker (who was on the project in the early years) and production designer Rick Carter, handsomely evoke every sci-fi dystopia from Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange to Blade Runner and this year's Monkeybone. Come to the Flesh Fair--a sort of Thunderdome demolition derby where vengeful humans, led by the demagogic Lord Johnson-Johnson (Ireland's Brendan Gleeson), set hapless automatons aflame--and try to get out fast. Spend the night in Rouge City, a city of sensual schlock that is filled with Kubrick-a-brac like...
...Disney people said about Pearl Harbor, it's not a treatise, it's a movie. And as a movie, A.I. engrosses without quite enthralling.

But from the start, she shows she has the will to dominate. And Adam is an ideal subject...
...stand motionless in the darkened operating room gazing at the overhead monitors, Wolf places his thumbs and forefingers into small controls inside the console. Then, moving his hands much as he would if he were actually holding the instruments, he shows the robot how to grab a piece of flesh with the forceps and begin peeling it away from the chest wall...
