Greatest Science Fiction Movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2014)

This movie is one of the greatest movies of all times. While it is long and slow, the pace helps define the movie, and really sets the mood for a long contemplation of our place in the universe. Given that this movie was made while we were just at the beginning of exploring space, the technical details of how daily life would be carried out in space is quite stunning, from the meals, video phones, furniture, and travel. The actors do a great job of portraying scientists with a very convincing dialogue and reactions. The spaceships are very well designed, and look as though they would fit right into reality of space travel. I never get tired of seeing this movie again.
