Mind boggling special effects

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2002)

The main reason why I liked this movie, besides the brilliant musical accompaniment by the Strausses, were the amazing special effects. And this movie dates back to, well a very long time ago, 1968 to be exact. I don't know how he did it, the scene where the spaceship is landing on the moon, and the dome starts to open, or the one where Dr. Poole is running around and around. It blew me away, and even if t is just a cheap trick, I don't care, it looks fenommenal, the way special effects should - so that you don't notice that they're fake. Well these certainly did not. And I just love those scenes where the spaceships are cruising and you hear the classical music - so perfect. And the movie itself wasnt bad -just very, very bizarre.
