Masterpiece? Deffo

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2007)

What what can I say... insane! Arthur C Clarke new how to confuse people and Kubricks film certainly put it to the screen very very well. Very weird film that is one of the few that make you feel sad for a computer (HAL 9000) when they shut him down. The use of classical music is a masterpiece although it take over an hour and 50 minutes to even get to the black monolith... it's worth the wait... very accurate and one of the few films to be accurate in space due to the "no sound" in space premise... nice :-) Acting is what you'd expect from a late 60's film, but considering this was nearly 40 years old now... my god was it ahead of it's time! Masterpiece indeed... 9/10
