An accomplishment unlike any other

2001: A Space Odyssey is without a doubt, the greatest science-fiction movie of all time. Many people who have seen the movie claim it is "boring" or "too slow", but the bottom line is- if you have a short attention span, you won't like this movie. The visual effects of this movie are truly beautiful, you could say it is the Mona Lisa of movies. The storyline was very interesting, and presented ideas and a plot that very few people can think of. The minimal dialogue is great compliment to a movie like this, every word that is spoken is important in order to understand the movie. The use of music in 2001 is genius, it feels like you are sucked right into the movie, as the film's artsy space scenes flow with the classical music it is shown with. The acting in 2001 is spectacular, especially by Keir Dullea (David Bowman). I don't think the cast could have done better job. Lastly, the ending is an absolutely mind-bending series of events that leaves you thinking of how to interpret it, a truly spectacular ending to an amazing movie.
