Declaring the wholesome genius of film making

Rating: Null/10 (27 November 2010)

The utterly detailed lack of verisimilitude in 2001: Space Odyssey creates a majestic film that celebrates an abstract majesty of process rather than a concrete declaration of objectives. Kubrick does not respond the anomalous questions that are raised. Rather, this splendid director allows the spectator, in this case a cerebral third party, to appreciate this work of motion picture art for all of its sheer virtuosity.
The chief musical score is inspired by the words of Nietzsche and contains five bold opening notes that embody the ascension of man into spheres reserved for the gods.
