Best Movies About Artificial Intelligence: Transcendence + More AIJohnny Depp dies and is reborn as a computer brain in Transcendence, the latest science- fiction thriller about artificial intelligence. Smart machines that may serve or dominate mankind are as old as Samuel Butler's 1. Erewhon, or Karel Capek's 1. R. U. R. — and as recent as this week's episode of The Simpsons, in which Dr.

The list is inspiring and nearly endless.(READ: Corliss's review of Transcendence)Here are seven of our favorites, spanning seven decades and the spectrum of man's feelings — fearful, wondrous — about the smartest machines man has created. THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, 1.

Directed by Robert Wise. Screenplay by Edmund H.

North, from the story "Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates. The first known alien visitor to Earth, in the first A- budget science- fiction film from a major Hollywood studio, is a Christ figure — Michael Rennie's Klaatu — whose spaceship lands in Washington, D. C.’s President’s Park.

Accompanied by his giant robot Gort, Klaatu has come in peace, but the Cold War U. S. will have none of that: a soldier shoots him. Escaping from the military hospital where he is confined, he assumes the earthly name "Mr. Carpenter," befriends a nice widow (Patricia Neal) and, during a global shutdown of electrical power — the half hour the Earth stands still — tells her that, if he's apprehended, she must sneak onto the spaceship and give Gort this message: “Klaatu barada nikto.”Cannily fusing flying- saucer paranoia with the Christian parable of the Second Coming, The Day the Earth Stood Still establishes Gort and his kind as servants instead of uncontrollable rebels. The movie also sends a plethora of mixed messages, such as: Don't trust your government; trust an alien with elegant bone structure and a posh English accent. At the end, Klaatu leaves Earth with one last message: All nations must live in peace.

But if the military belligerence of Earth's nations extends into outer space, then robots like Gort will destroy our planet. The decision rests with you.” In other words, try to be as peaceful as we, your superiors, are — or we’ll kill you. A SPACE ODYSSEY, 1. Directed by Stanley Kubrick.

What's happening at the beginning? What goes on at the end? Not many science fiction films encourage the audience to ask those questions, as 2. An essay on man's destiny, the film was for some of its late- ’6.

But still, wouldn't it be nice to know the explicit meaning of the Monolith, that gigantic slab that revved evolution into fast- forward? In a making- of doc on the 2. Clarke explained: "The Monolith was essentially a teaching machine. In fact, our original idea was to have something with a transparent screen on which images would appear, which would teach the apes how to fight each other, how to maybe even make fire." So the apes would get a celestial visit from the first computer on Earth. But that was much too naive an idea," Clarke added.

So eventually we just bypassed it with a device which we didn't explain — they just touched it, and things happened to their brains, and they were transformed."2. CGI magic but in the camera.

For the floating- pen effect, they stuck the pen to a plate of glass and moved the plate slowly in front of the camera; the actress playing the flight attendant then pulled the pen off the glass.) So this was a handmade movie about computers — especially the soothing, neurotic HAL 9. Douglas Rain. HAL masks insolence with apologies: When astronaut Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) orders the computer to "Open the pod bay doors," HAL replies, "I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that." HAL can do that, and he/it isn't sorry; the lives of Bowman and his partner Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood) are only incidental to the mission, which will abort if HAL is disconnected. The machine ends on a terser note: "Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo Full Movie In English here.

Goodbye." It's the Shut Down command we have all seen on our computers — and which, spookily, I am seeing right now. No kidding. Is HAL, or his kin 1. DEMON SEED, 1. 97. Directed by Donald Cammell.

Screenplay by Robert Jaffe and Roger O. Hirson, from the novel by Dean R. Koontz. Can a computer rape a human? Proteus IV, the supercomputer that mad- genius scientist Alex Harris (Fritz Weaver) has invented and installed in his home, has eyes and more for Alex's wife Susan (Julie Christie). A brain with no body, Proteus needs to reproduce: "So that I may be complete.

My intelligence alive in human flesh, touching the universe, feeling it. I, Proteus, possess the wisdom and ignorance of all men, but I can't feel the sun on my face. My child will have that privilege." Gross, but alright, how protean is Proteus? How does a machine inseminate a woman? By assuming the physical form of a giant Rubik's Cube, in a sequence packed with psychedelic imagery.

Aside from trying to propagate its species, Proteus also dispenses its own binary wisdom. Death is a gentleman," it intones in the eerie metallic voice supplied by Robert (The Man from U. N. C. L. E.) Vaughn.

He makes good losers of us all. I understand death. Men have always taken it too seriously. Life is more terrifying and more mysterious." Cammell, who codirected the infamous Mick Jagger film Performance, met the gentleman Death far too early. Despondent when producers recut his movie Wide Side, he killed himself with a bullet through the head. WARGAMES, 1. 98. 3.

Directed by John Badham. Written by Laurence Lasker and Walter F. Parkes."Shall we play a game?" asks the deadpan computer of nerd genius David Lightman (Matthew Broderick, back when he was 2. Watch Fix Vioz. Showing off a little for his girlfriend Jennifer (Ally Sheedy), David responds, "Love to. How about Global Thermonuclear War?" Bad idea, since the computer he's hacked into, called Joshua, holds an Air Force system known as W. O. P. R. — the War Operations Plan Response — and if David keeps playing there'll be a whopper of worldwide annihilation.

With the entire military- industrial complex flummoxed, a wayward child must lead them. In an urgent new strategy, David must get Joshua to accept that "the only winning game is not to play."One of the first movies whose "action scenes" consisted mainly of furious typing, War.

Games anticipated the toxic mischief that the next generation of hackers could wreak on the titans of Wall Street, Washington, D. C. and Silicon Valley. It also paved the way for antiestablishment hackers like Edward Snowden, who unleashed the power of a few key- punches on an NSA computer. A. I., 2. 00. 1. Directed by Steven Spielberg.

Written by Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick, from the story "Supertoys Last All Summer Long" by Brian Aldiss. For his first sci- fi project since 2. Kubrick had planned, as Spielberg said, "to take a step beyond the sentient relationship that HAL 9. Bowman and Poole, and tell a kind of future fairy tale about artificial intelligence." In the remote future, the brains at Cybertronics Manufacturing assemble the perfect child — "always loving, never ill, never changing" — and find a potentially ideal couple to adopt him, or try him out, like a prototype car. But we know the danger of answered prayers. Real life is messy; love can break your heart.
