Out of this world tremendous. An instant classic.

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2001)

It is hard to find an unkind word and not enough time to sing its praises. Absolutely tremendous. From the mind of Arthur Clarke, who wrote the short story "The Sentinel" and the open minded genius of director Stanley Kubrick, a masterpiece was created. Special effects are state of the art with futuristic insight. The fabulous musical score stays stunning to this day.
Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood play accomplished space voyagers on a trip to Jupiter when the space vehicle is taken over by the artificial intelligence of the missions computer HAL 9000.(Douglas Rain provides the wry monotone voice of the controlling computer HAL.)
