An ominous space ballet....

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2016)

When a waltz meets space station, the most beautiful space ballet is created and for your viewing pleasure this space ballet has been imprinted onto film. One need not question that Stanley Kubrick obsessed to bring you one of his masterpieces from the middle of his career, the attention to detail is apparent throughout the film. A highly advanced computer: HAL-9000, marks the conquest of human engineered computer technology. HAL is given full control over an entire space shuttle that is on an ominously secret mission to Jupiter space. Throughout the film details and agendas never seem to be "on the surface." The tension of this film is never going to fade from your memory, as the fate of astronauts Dave and Frank become under the control of the cold and calculated "mind" of the HAL-9000. Evolution is the repeated theme and is present in nearly every plot point in the film. This brings up the question: Are we designing our own demise?
You will be left with questions, questions best answered by watching the film multiple times to grasp what YOU perceive to be true. Don't let others answers your two-thousand-and-one questions to 2001: A Space Odyssey, instead let your emotions and perceptions guide you, because as humans that is all we have that separates us from a machine: our error filled, true, and genuine human emotion.
2001: A Space Odyssey, how evolution is elegantly woven into a ballet of symphonic celestial existence is just so...human
