A story within a gallery of art

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2002)

I don't usually write comments, but this movie made me think about it for so long that I had to share my views.
First off, this is a fantastic film. I love Stanley Kubrick's previous works and this is one of his best. I was always astounded about how they did that. I can't even see some of the stuff they did now it was so good.
But there was more than that. There was a story within a gallery of art that made me think two, three, four times before coming to a conclusion. If a movie can make you think about it for over a day than you know it's a classic.
I was always trying to catch up with what was going on and I love it when a film can make me do that. I always wanted to know what was behind that cliff, that moon, etc. My heart was pounding all the time especially when Kubrick cleverly used only the oxygen tank and the man's breathing as sound. The movie was always one step ahead of me.
I know I've rambled on, but I would like to close by saying that Star Wars is my favorite movie. I like action, I like speed, and I like loud sound, but as they say: "Opposites attract" and this was the one that attracted me. This is one of the best movies of all time.
