Beautiful, Disturbing representation of the future, in Kubrick's vision.

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2010)

Thsi film is both amazing and terrifying. The film's effects are beautiful and are some of the best that will ever be put on screen. The film is slightly dated with 60's optimism and cleanliness, but it is just so beautiful and believable. The film takes place in 2001 but none of this happened in 2001. However, the characters' reliance on technology is just like ours today. The concept of machines having souls is also mind-boggling. The film lacks dialog but gives beautiful images and lovely music. Some of the films concepts in space are not the most accurate but unlike some sci-fi films, this movie thought about things like toilets in space or food in space. This movie is considered to be the greatest sci-fi film ever made and to tell you the truth, it may be just that.
