Why watch this film?
Conceived by the genius Stanley Kubrick before his death and brought to the screen by Steven Spielberg, 'A.I. Artificial Intelligence' is a dream come true for any movie buff. With an emotional performance by Haley Joel Osment ('The Sixth Sense'), the film is a new twist on fairy tales like 'Pinocchio', and at the same time an ambitious reflection on the meaning of human nature.

From the same director
The Color Purple
A touching story about life, love, and prejudice. A movie that launched Whoopi Goldberg to stardom.
Empire of the Sun
Another brilliant work from Steven Spielberg, with a great script, exquisite soundtrack by John Williams and great performances by John Malkovich and a young Christian Bale. "Bedtime movie" for any movie lover.
Lincoln
Steven Spielberg's competent direction, but the highlight is Daniel Day-Lewis' superb performance in the title role.
The Post
Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, and Tom Hanks together. Those are enough reasons to watch 'The Post'. However, for political and United States history lovers, the movie touches upon a pivotal topic: the leak of confidential Vietnam War files that prove the government was fully aware of all the problems of the conflict. But, the focus is not the same as in 'Spotlight'; the investigation done by journalists is put in second place, with the movie giving importance to The Washington Post's (alongside The New York Times') fight against Richard Nixon's government censorship. This opened the doors for the newspaper to get greater national projection, even providing the baggage for the scandal they would investigate later, Watergate. No wonder 'The Post' works as the perfect prelude for another great Hollywood movie: 'All the President's Men'.
War Horse
Touching movie directed by Steven Spielberg, set in one of the most dramatic moments of history. Additionally, bringing beautiful cinematography.
Ready Player One
Adapted from the book by Ernest Cline, which was a worldwide bestseller, the movie makes an interesting fusion of franchises, concepts, games, characters and ideas from the 1980s and early 90s. And the director couldn't be better: Steven Spielberg, one of the great driving forces of pop culture in the past 40 years. Therefore, nostalgia is the great trump card of "Ready Player One", quickly capturing the attention of those who experienced phenomena like Atari, "Back to the Future" and "Voltron". Unfortunately, the journey of the protagonist is too simplistic, while the dialogues need more refined polishing. Nevertheless, special effects and fan service guarantee the popcorn.
Minority Report
One of the coolest dystopias of recent times. After all, in this future imagined by Philip K. Dick, the police don't make arrests, or anything like that. In fact, through information obtained by a powerful artificial intelligence, they arrest people preemptively before crimes are committed. From this premise, the viewer is invited to follow the journey of a policeman (Tom Cruise) who is convicted of pre-murder. With a beautiful and exciting package, much due to Steven Spielberg's inspired direction, 'Minority Report' is an action movie that goes beyond the traditional running of the genre - even though Tom Cruise doesn't stop for a minute on the screen. You will end the movie looking differently at the artificial intelligence embedded in your cell phone and, thus, thinking about what are the limits for technology in our lives.
War of the Worlds
Steven Spielberg's genius presents a contemporary reinterpretation of H.G. Wells' War of The Worlds. The film has nothing less than the incredible technical feat used in its director's films, achieving spectacular sequences that, with effective camera work, exalt the sensation of constant danger and paranoia. Tom Cruise is not the best actor to convey the emotional aspect of the movie, but he works when it turns into an action thriller.
Hook
In the eyes of critics, this is a movie that lacks personality in Steven Spielberg's direction and brings a sugary story. However, in the eyes of children -including grown adults who have kept the same tender feeling towards the film- this is a captivating and emotional story, mainly because of the unforgettable performances of Robin Williams as Peter Pan and Dustin Hoffman as the great villain Captain Hook.
Schindler's List
Spielberg's masterpiece. Moving story, impeccable direction and a black and white cinematography that marks history. The only color in the entire movie is the girl in red, a representation of the end of Oskar Schindler's innocence and ours.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Second movie in the original Indiana Jones trilogy, the classic 1980s character created by the duo George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. After an iconic first film that resulted in Oscar nominations and historic box office success, the feature followed an unsteady path with Indiana Jones (again played by Harrison Ford at the peak of his career) going to India in search of a mysterious and mystical stone. There are fewer iconic villains and a less powerful interweaving between the character and History. Still, it's hard not to get excited, have fun and be moved by John Williams' (‘Star Wars’, ‘Jaws’) memorable soundtrack and Spielberg's electrifying direction in the adventure and action scenes. It doesn't come close to the first feature in terms of originality and strength, but it should excite those who want to dive deeper into the story of this professor-adventurer who is already part of popular imagination.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Steven Spielberg's second great success in his career, after 'Jaws', was a rich vision of humanity's encounter with aliens in the latter half of the 1970s, blending our fears, obsessions, desires, science and folklore. One of the director's great masterpieces.
Bridge of Spies
Another collaboration between Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, who previously also met in 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'The Terminal'. Here, in 'Bridge of Spies', Hanks is a New York lawyer who is suddenly charged with negotiating with the Soviet government during the Cold War. The reason? Bring a spy (Mark Rylance, who won an Oscar for this role over Sylvester Stallone for 'Creed') back to America. Despite the exaggerated nationalism, with US flags fluttering triumphantly in several moments of the film, 'Bridge of Spies' is a movie that accurately brings the warlike atmosphere of this sombre period of humanity, with all the sensitivity already expected from Steven Spielberg. To watch, be moved and get excited.
Jurassic Park
Steven Spielberg's masterpiece, which started a true dinosaur craze and has, to this day, brought in billions in new movies, attractions in parks and other products. The story is based on the book by Michael Crichton, who also wrote the screenplay, where a group of scientists discover a way to bring dinosaurs back to life - and human entrepreneurship turns it into a theme park. What could go wrong, right? Spoiler: everything. Along with an interesting script and captivating cast (how can you forget Jeff Goldblum's Malcolm?), the special effects are still jaw-dropping today. A true blockbuster at its core.
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
A classic Steven Spielberg film that brings all the nostalgia from the 80s and introduces us to the most charismatic extraterrestrial in cinema. We could call 'E.T.: The Extraterrestrial' a masterpiece, for its story, editing, soundtrack, and the excellent child cast including Drew Barrymore's debut on the big screen - she was seven years old at the time. This production is from an era in which movies used real backgrounds, puppets, and props to create stories - after all, special effects weren't so sophisticated - which gives it a certain charm for today's audiences.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
After a first historic and spectacular movie, the 'Jurassic Park' franchise went for what all sequels do: explore success to the max, even if it makes the story lose some charm and strength. That's what we see in 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park', a feature film that shows what happened after the tragedy of creating a park populated with dinosaurs. Jeff Goldblum (‘The Fly’) gets a well-deserved highlight in the cast, since Laura Dern and Sam Neill don't return. To equalize the situation, Spielberg calls actress Julianne Moore and actor Vince Vaughn -- in addition, of course, to the return of the beloved and feared dinosaurs. The plot plays more with suspense and the unknown around every corner and bets more on digital effects than practical ones, taking away some of the magic. But still, it's a good movie, which serves as an uncommitted pastime in this magical and fanciful dive that only Spielberg knows how to do.
Catch Me If You Can
"Catch Me If You Can" is a not-so-well-remembered movie by Steven Spielberg, but it has its merits. It tells the story of a con artist (Leonardo DiCaprio) who disguises himself and passes himself off as various people - pilots, businessmen and the like - even without any experience, in a curious similarity to the Brazilian movie "VIPs". From there, in a somewhat convoluted plot with a policeman (Tom Hanks) chasing the criminal, the highlight is certainly Hanks and DiCaprio, who know how to embody the cat-and-mouse game that the script requires, plus a memorable performance by Christopher Walken, remembered in awards of the season of the year.
West Side Story
What happens when one of the most acclaimed directors of our time, Steven Spielberg, decides to make a new adaptation of one of the most famous musicals of Broadway and cinema? The result is the new version of 'West Side Story'. Spielberg is impeccable in his work: at the same time that he is, as much as possible, faithful to the original material - a version of 'Romeo and Juliet' set in the Upper West Side neighborhood of New York, with Capulets and Montagues replaced by Puerto Rican immigrants and descendants of European immigrants during the mid-1950s - the filmmaker brings all his cinematographic language, his unique way of, through images, highlighting emotions, expressions and events. However, the director makes an interesting twist: he adds a larger bed (in relation to the 1961 adaptation) of social criticism, highlighting gentrification and making it even clearer that these young people are not enemies of each other, but rather victims of much larger social gears than all of us. Rachel Zegler is great as Maria, while it is extremely beautiful and touching to see Rita Moreno (from the original version) on stage. But it is Ariana DeBose, as Anita, who really steals the show. The cast also includes Ansel Elgort ('In Rhythm of Escape') as the protagonist Tony, as well as Mike Faist and David Alvarez as the leaders of the Jets and Sharks gangs. Recommended for those who like musicals and for those who are passionate about Steven Spielberg's work.
The Fabelmans
Of all the autobiographical works of filmmakers in recent years ('Roma', by Alfonso Cuarón, 'Belfast' by Kenneth Branagh or 'Armageddon Time' by James Gray, to name a few), Steven Spielberg's may be the most authentic and transparent. In 'The Fabelmans', the legendary director of 'E.T.: The Extraterrestrial' and 'Jurassic Park' presents us, in a few words, the story of his youth: from his childhood passion for cinema, through family turbulence, bullying at school and his foray into Hollywood as an innocent young man. It is a moving story in itself - and Michelle Williams only needs to appear on the screen to break our hearts - but what matters is what it tells us along the way: we need to tell stories to give meaning to what we go through, to understand ourselves and to forge our own truths. Read more about 'The Fabelmans' in our review.
Jaws
Considered one of the greatest films of all time, 'Jaws' is the first modern summer blockbuster, helping to revive Hollywood and define the business model for the industry. Combined with an unforgettable score that evokes sheer terror and Steven Spielberg's impeccable direction, 'Jaws' remains one of the most thrilling and memorable adventures in cinematic history.
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
Written by George Lucas around the same time as "Star Wars", "Indiana Jones" was inspired by 1930s movie serials. Considered one of the best movies of all time, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a gem of an adventure movie that has it all: action, witty dialogue with humor, and a great story. An essential eighties classic and the entry point for the saga if you're interested in seeing it all.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is the most criticized of all the productions. After all, the movie came to theaters almost twenty years after the third film. Many expected a revolution in the story of Indiana, with a plot as good as the first feature film - something similar to what would happen in 2015 when George Miller revived the "Mad Max" franchise. However, it was nothing like that. Steven Spielberg returned to directing, while Harrison Ford again occupied the post of the most beloved explorer of cinema. But the atmosphere was not the same: the protagonist has a clear difficulty in making more dynamic scenes and some things seemed dated. Still, fans of the franchise cannot pass by the movie. After all, despite its problems, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" brings some small stories that should influence the future of the franchise and, on top of that, kills the nostalgia of the beloved character. It's a bit anticlimactic, yes. But it's hard not to get excited in some moments and smile with Harrison Ford's emblematic phrases and attitudes.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The third movie of the original Indiana Jones trilogy, a classic 1980s character created by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg duo. After the highs and lows of the second movie in the franchise, this one brings back the good elements of the first one: Nazis as villains and the search for a Biblical artifact. However, the story gains an even bigger dimension with the introduction of Indy's father, played by Sean Connery, in a perfect chemistry with Harrison Ford. In terms of performances, River Phoenix stands out for playing a young Indiana in the early stages of the adventure. As for the direction, Spielberg is at his peak, delivering a very well-filmed, entertaining, and exciting story.
Saving Private Ryan
One of Steven Spielberg's most memorable films, 'Saving Private Ryan' is one of those war productions where the viewer has to hold their breath from its first minute. After all, the initial scene already shows what the movie will be: intense, with a strong concern for the human role in wars, but without sparing the viewer from violence and extreme situations. And this perpetuates itself throughout the almost three hours of duration, where we follow the journey of a platoon (Tom Hanks, Vin Diesel, among others) that crosses wars, conflicts and chaotic scenarios to find Soldier Ryan (Matt Damon), a boy who lost all his brothers during the war and now must return to his mother's arms. Powerful and afflictive, it is difficult not to create empathy and bonds with the characters, who will gain layers of personality as the plot advances - and, it is worth saying, the long duration is not a problem. Thus, alongside 'Apocalypse Now', 'Platoon' and 'Born to Kill', it is an obligatory experience for fans of the genre in cinema.
The Terminal
One of the most iconic and flavorful movies from the Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg duo (who previously worked on 'Saving Private Ryan'), 'The Terminal' presents us with an unbelievable story: a man (Hanks) arrives in the United States from a small Eastern European country. However, during the trip, that country collapsed and its government dissolved. From then on, the feature film focuses on the situation of this stateless man who cannot enter the US, nor return to his homeland. Mixing emotional scenes with some even humorous ones, the movie discusses origins, roots and, mainly, the identity of this man who is stuck in the airport. Absolute highlight for Hanks, in one of his best roles.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Dredd
In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver
The rebels gear up for battle against the Motherworld as unbreakable bonds are forged, heroes emerge — and legends are made.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
The MonsterVerse has successfully brought to the screen the battles of the two most iconic giant monsters in cinema, King Kong and Godzilla, the latter in its American reinterpretation. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is a new chapter in the franchise, although, truth be told, it doesn't bring much new. The duo are now allies in a fight for the fate not only of the Earth's surface but also of the world of the "hollow earth," where the titans come from. Don't expect here the deep anti-war allegory of Godzilla Minus One, the far superior Japanese film released just a few months prior. Here it's about seeing giant monsters smack each other in the face, like an hour of wrestlers aboard monster trucks. If that's what you're looking for, it's the movie for you. If you prefer some more humanity in your films, it's better to pass.
Code 8: Part II
Code 8 was an unexpectedly successful film, putting Robbie (from the series Upload) and Stephen Amell (Arrow) back on the map and captivating audiences with a compelling science fiction story. Now, the saga returns with an intense plot: after witnessing her brother's murder and the subsequent cover-up, a teenage girl with abnormal abilities seeks the help of an ex-convict (Robbie Amell) and his former crime partner (Stephen Amell). Together, they confront a unit of corrupt police officers who use advanced robotic technology to avoid being exposed. A clever and entertaining sequel.
