2001 A space odyssey-Possibly the greatest Sci-fi movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2008)

I must admit the first time I viewed 2001|:A space odyssey I was unimpressed. Months later I was browsing through my local videostore and the DVD of 2001:A space odyssey caught my eye and decided I should give it another go. I am very glad I did because the second time around I loved it and have loved it since. The ape sequence at the beginning I think means that at first the apes couldn't defend themselves against rival apes and other animals but when they realise what they can do with the bones of a dead animal they can finally defend themselves. In the first twenty minutes there is hardly a word spoken instead we are treated to one of the best musical scores ever. The story itself is pretty complex but that is the beauty of 2001: A space odyssey. The last half hour is a visual feast of the highest order. 2001 is a movie that has divided most people,some people love it,some people hate it but I for one absolutely love 2001. 2001 is a remarkable piece of cinema and I would call it one of Stanly Kubrick's best after A Clockwork Orange.
