Kubrick's Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2003)

So far out of Kubricks movies I have seen (2001, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut), I have declared this to be his masterpiece. It could change after I see Dr. Strangelove and Clockwork Orange but I doubt it.
The acting in this movie is nothing award winning or worth a nomination but its solid acting. The Special Effects are excellent, very realistic for the 60s. The Sets are fantastic. The Directing from Kubrick is top notch in every possible way. He should have won for this. Its too bad he died without winning an award but hes in good company with Hitchcock and Scorsese but Scorsese will probably win for GONY this year, which is stupid.
Overall, probably the best science fiction movie ever made.
