mind blowing

Rating: Null/10 (6 January 1999)

2001 is a film that cannot be described easily. The best advice to give is just to watch the film. The themes that are expressed in the film make you think about where we are in the grand scheme of things, and where we are headed as a civilization. In a way, 2001 has come true. Poole and Bowman were at the mercy of HAL. In this day and age, we are pretty much at the mercy of computers. What will happen when computers start to think for themselves? Let's just hope that when they do, they don't see us as a threat to their programming.
