Influential film, must see if your into sci-fi

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2007)

Probably the best sci-fi film in the 60's and wouldn't be bettered for until star wars 9 years later.
2001 is VISUALLY amazing, watching the movement of space-craft, the effects are second to none, now a days that would be done with cgi etc. Watching "jupiter, and beyond the infinite" section, where it looks as if your travelling at the speed if light through space, i was amazed.
The only downside to 2001 is trying to understand it, especially towards the end.
It's hard to believe that 2001 is now nearly 40 years old, yet still looks fresh. Got to be in the top 3 best sci-fi films EVER.
Didn't realise there was 24 minutes & 22 minutes that there is no dialogue until i read the "trivia", must be a record.
