the best movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2005)

it is preposterous that this film only rates #78 on this site's top 250 movies. a more accurate poll is the critic's poll taken by sight&sound magazine, which places 2001 among the top 10 films ever made. my first viewing of 2001 was a pan and scan VHS tape and the movie blew me away. only later did i see a widescreen version and realize how much i had been missing. and then i was privileged to see this movie how it must be seen, a 70mm print on the big screen! what an experience! this bold film progresses from prehistoric times to man's exploration of space, and beyond. and when i say "beyond" you have NO idea what i'm talking about if you haven't seen the film. go see it!
