Artificial Intelligence” never ended up getting realized by Kubrick himself.
Go on, ask Siri if she can open the pod bay doors.įrom one realized A.I. depiction in film, and so deeply entrenched in culture, not even Apple could ignore it. Today, HAL is the number one model of authentic A.I. Clarke, who made sure the science made sense. Its design and computational incapacity for compassion broke new ground thanks to Kubrick’s perfectionist direction and supervision by the film’s co-author Arthur C. Every scene featuring HAL is an archetypal blueprint for every single A.I. Of all ‘2001’s’ grandiose themes concerned with human evolution and the spiritual dimensions of the universe, the one that’s mired in as little ambiguity as possible is the theme of man’s design and relationship with artificial intelligence, iconicized in the deep red glare of HAL’s lip-reading camera eye. It finds astronauts David Bowman ( Keir Dullea) and Frank Poole ( Gary Lockwood) on a mission to Jupiter aboard a spaceship controlled and monitored by sentient computer HAL 9000 (voiced in impeccable monotone by Douglas Rain). The film is divided into four distinct acts, and the third one is the narrative nucleus and which that concerns us here. An obvious choice way before this feature even entered embryonic stage, ‘2001’ is believed to be the quintessential sci-fi film by just about anyone with knowledge of the subject.

In the meantime, we invite you to download this list of 10 essential A.I. Perhaps one day in the not-too-distant future we’ll talk about our favorite A.I. characters, so all you fans of C3PO, Ash, Data, Gunslinger and so forth should curb that Internet rage. films we deem essential viewing in the sub-genre’s library. It’s as good a time as any to talk about some A.I. Not enough? The theme will have appropriate representation on the small screen in the form of Jonathan Nolan’s “ Westworld,” premiering on HBO later in the year. This week comes the aforementioned Garland movie, and coming soon is Joss Whedon’s “ Avengers: Age of Ultron.” Don’t forget that “ Terminator” is back this year, with ‘ Genisys’ coming to theatres in the summer.
We’ve already seen “ Chappie” (or, we’ve seen it so that you don’t have to, though some of us found it unnecessarily humiliated by the critics). As a way to compensate for this human error, 2015 is going to be much more artificially and intelligently inclined, with the theme replete in a variety of mainstream and indie sci-fi films. The Singularity is not far off and this swell has practically come out of nowhere, with last year’s awesome Disney hit “ Big Hero 6,” the disastrous Johnny Depp vehicle “ Transcendence,” and 2013’s British indie-sleeper “ The Machine” amounting to most of what the subgenre has had to offer in the decade so far (though not all, as we’ll mention). In the midst of our excitement for this week’s release of Alex Garland’s “ Ex Machina” (which is fantastic and reviewed here), it hit us: 2015 is teeming with artificial intelligence movies.
