The father of all sci-fi films

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2019)

2001 has been hailed as the father of all sci-fi films, and I do have to agree it's one of the best. This is another movie that throws away the tropes of its genre to show us something that is deep and meaningful. 2001: A Space Odyssey gives us beautiful visuals the whole movie long, and even though we don't get to care about the characters as much as we do with other films, they are there to serve a purpose in Kubrick's story of mankind's love for discovery. Strangely enough however, 2001 also manages to give us one of the best villains in cinema history, along with one of the best ending sequences as well.
