I love this movie dearly

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2013)

2001 A space Odyssey is in my personal opinion the best movie ever made. The script has a great rhythm, the slow paced and relaxed tone in the actor's voices helps us dive into a setting where extravagant technology is a normality, while also giving a dramatic eeriness that makes one shift in their seat throughout the movie. The film was also beautifully directed, Kubrick loves to make us take a step back and look at the whole picture, and has some great shots of space. Though his directing in relation to plot development is where he amazed me in this film. Whether I was watching monkeys battle or babies float in outer space, my belief was never suspended. I truly enjoyed the way he threw the plot around to different moments in time, and how they were all related but still all interesting in their own respects. The movie also had a great, and highly thought provoking statement on power, and what it truly means to be of a higher intelligence. The end of the movie is also highly debatable, allowing it to resonate with one long after they finish the film, making it to me more than just a movie but an experience.
