A classic

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2013)

This truly is the fantastic film everyone says it is... almost. Yes it was ahead of it's time, yes it was groundbreaking in many areas and yes it is memorable. It is the brilliant film people say it is.
It is not perfect however. It is slow, has little dialogue, and is cryptic. But these gripes of mine are offset my great cinematography and a powerful soundtrack. In fact the lack of dialogue is used to great effect to enable the viewer to marvel and awe at the beauty of space.
I'm glad to have finally seen it and recommend this defining film. Just be aware it is not going to be what you expect as it is unique.
