2001 A Space Odyssey, THE science fiction film.

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2011)

2001 is perhaps the best film ever made; it is definitely the best science fiction film ever made, and i say that as a kid who grew up obsessed with Jurassic Park. In a conversation Stanley Kubrick had with Steven Spielberg, Kubrick said that he "wanted to change the way movies were made". Spielberg then asked "Well, didn't you do that with 2001?" and Kubrick replied "Well, a little bit."
Kubrick, your attempt at change worked. This is quite possibly one of the most intriguing, interesting, mystifying movies ever made, designed to inspire an awakening, and it fulfilled it's purpose. Kubrick, in 2001, piqued at one of the most vital of philosophical questions: Where did we come from? What is our purpose here?
