An exhausting yet rewarding adventure

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2017)

Perhaps "exhausting" isn't the best way to begin my description of what I believe to be one of the best movies ever created, yet I'd like to begin my review by emphasizing this movie is not for everyone. Every shot in this film, as is true for most Kubrick's films, is intricately put together and the end result is marvelous. The plot is nearing on mystical (even a little new age), but never becomes sappy or heavy-handed. Kubrick leaves it up to the viewer to make up their own mind of what to make of this epic, though the question remains: is there an answer?
