the first great science Fiction film

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2005)

when I rate a movie not only do I rate it on how good it is, but what it did for movie history.
2001: A Space Odyssey is a movie not told but shown(and if you watch the movie you will understand why I said that). That is one of the reasons why it is so great. Now the look of this movie is very well done. 2001 was made before CGI was, but that does not stop it from looking realistic( I like the way this and the old Star wars looks better then the new CG look).
Now don't get me wrong 2001 does have some things people may not like.First of all meny are turned any way because the movie is slow. It is also very hard to understand. which leaves meny to believe that the movie is random and is about nothing in particular. how ever it is just the opposite. Second, the movie never really has a constant character all though the movie. which is not good for the development of the characters.But the things I listed may not seem that bad to some people. I think they are not so bad, but others disagree.
So it comes down to this:if you like science fiction movie, and if you like movies that make you think you must watch this movie. Based on how well this movie was done and all that it did for movie to come I give 2001: A Space Odyssey a 9 out of 10.
