Amazing and one of a kind.

Rating: Null/10 (2 November 2005)

I first rented this movie back in Summer 2005. I kept hearing that this movie is very good.
I was amazed on how they made this movie. It's special effects are like ahead of it's time. And this is older than the original Star Wars.
This is about how the Earliest Human like creatures on earth experience a mysterious Black Rectangle that appears out of no where.
It reappears on the earth's moon in an alternate 2001 A.D.
A time where space stations and rockets are revolving around the earth.
And a man sent on a space journey to investigate Jupiter. And a computer with a mind of it's own.
Please know this movie is very long going with long silent parts that have little dialog.
But still a great Sci-Fi flick to check out. The special effects in it are just amazing, it seemed like it was impossible to do that kind of stuff back then. Specially when this film was made 25 years before CGI was invented.
If it weren't for this film George Lucas would never of gotten the inspiration to do Star Wars.
It's rated G, since there's nothing too inappropriate for kids to see. But this is a little boring and long for a kid to sit and watch.
Highly recommended to those who like old school Sci-Fi films.
