Simply perfect

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2001)

2001 has a reputation for being (almost)the best SF film ever made. This is true, but it is also true that it is also one of the best films ever made, in any genre. Everything in the movie contributes to that: the extreme depth of the underlaying ideas, the very well chosen sound track and, above all, the amazing demonstration on the uses of the visual language made by Kubrick. The techniques used in 2001, many of them developed from scratch for the movie, have set up the pace for lots of films to come after.
