Top notch movie, excellent effects, thought provoking

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2002)

I have seen this movie several times. Considering the year it was made (1968) the visual effects created without the aid of modern CGI computers are awesome. The first few times I watched it I was entertained but did not get the 'message'. There is some deep meaning to the plot that lends itself to broad interpretation and gets you thinking, about religion, yourself, life, and a supreme being. The plot is pretty good and character development is super. Even HAL gets a personality.
Truly a classic film, and ranks in my top 10. I recommend seeing it more than once to get the full effect.
