A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
Brilliant, unique, deeply philosophical, disturbing
This film is outstanding on all fronts .. screenplay, acting, effects, sets, etc. It is philosophically profound, and doesn't take the easy way out .. no happy endings, no easy answers. It is harrowing to watch, and I would definitely keep the kiddies away, but if you enjoy "good" science fiction, which is to say, science fiction which is about ideas instead of gore, slime and/or explosions (as most seem to be), this film is highly recommended.
Automatic (1995)
Surprisingly moving reflection on treatment of A/Is
Although it is obviously "low-budget," this film combines "standard" action sequences with surprisingly well-done reflections on the plight of sentient "artificial life forms." I recommend it for its "science fiction" themes, and for those strictly seeking an "action-thriller" it's not lacking in explosions, shootings, and other mayhem either.:)
