my review

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2004)

It took me many years to finally get round to watching this but i am now very glad i did. I am a big Kubrick fan anyway so I was expecting great things and as soon as i became aware it was directed by him I knew I should view it. The scale of this film is amazing and it is hard to believe it was made so many years ago. Although slightly dated in terms of todays special effects it was a remarkable achievement of its time.
The film looks at evolution and how far it could take us. It also shows the difference between artificial life and humans and how they can cause problems and not always be trusted. I like this film because it certainly makes you think about life in the grander scale while also leaving things open to interpretation at the end.
