Masterpiece of Cinema-One of the Greatest Ever

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2008)

2001 has to be in my top 4 or 5 favorite films of all time. Its such a perfect film on so many levels.I really cannot stand it when people who haven't seen it,stereotype it to make it seem like its just an ordinary science fiction film. I personally don't classify the film as a "science fiction" film at all.It's a film that if you think outside the box(which most movie-goers do not do) can be deeply moving. This film truly moved me. The ending with the whole Star Child symbolizing a sort of "rebirth" in mankind, that really affected me. The only true flaw that the film has is that its a tad too long in several different scenes. Other than that, if you haven't seen it, please go rent it. How it didn't win Best Picture, let alone get nominated, truly amazes me to this day. Perfict Film, truly a masterpiece and is without a doubt Kubricks best film(possibly a tie with 'A Clockwork Orange'
