This is the future

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 2006)

The greatest strength of the movie is the ending, its not philosophical, its not mysterious, its a vision of a very optimistic future. A future where another star is born. A future which the children will look towards the sky and be happy about. Its not just the old sun, its a new sun. A sun that will bring hope. A sun that will remind us that where we are living is not the end, exploration is just beginning. A hope that the shining orb of light in the sky is pointing the human race towards more. What it is, I don't know. But I know that is the wonderful. And that is what the film is about, neither is the book. Its not about HAL, its not about technology, its not about petty animosities. It is about the future. A future in which we are already living. Along with "Imagine", it is the only vision of the future that will endure, because that is what is the future.
