Otherworldly

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2014)

More than 40 years after its release, this transcendental sci-fi experience remains unparalleled. Kubrick's depiction of Arthur C. Clarke's novel, filmed in eye-popping 70mm, with revolutionary visual effects and blended with some of the most beautiful music ever created by man, forms the utter symphony between the everlasting curiosity of mankind and the infinite mystery of outer space. Along this epic voyage of time and space, we watch the birth of human technology and its push towards the evolution of our species, ultimately leading to an envisioned modern era of dazzling discoveries. A truly inspiring odyssey and I find one of its most astounding facts that it was made before the human race had even set foot on the Moon.
