Possibly the best piece of film work ever created

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2007)

This is actually amazing. I have never seen a piece of film work quite like this. It is revolutionary, and i think that this film alone makes Stanley Kubrick the best director ever, despite all his other great work.
However, this film is not for everyone. Some people may be bored by it, as there is very little dialogue, and a lot of it is quite subtle, and slow moving. Be warned, you have to be in the mood, as it's not overly easy to watch and requires your full attention. Not one to sit round with your mates after a few drinks. Any film maker or appreciator will enjoy this, as the whole feature is visually mesmerising, and accompanied by an incredible soundtrack.
It portrays the development of life, and the history of existence. Billions of years of evolution are symbolised in one transition (you'll see that in the film).
Basically, it is very good. At the end, a baby appears on screen, which you may not have my humour, but i was incredibly close to laughing my head off. However, i was restrained by the cinematic greatness, and felt no urge to laugh.
I recommend the film, however, as i have said, don't watch this expecting a nice and easy entertaining movie. Make sure the room is silent and pitch black.
