Extremely ahead of its time

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2007)

2001 is one of the most imaginative and original films I have ever seen. All the visuals and cinematography are a mesmerizing experience all in itself. Kubrick takes you on a journey that no film has ever touched. I was taken in right from the beginning and Kubrick drags you in deeper and deeper as the story unfolds. The very concept of space travel and all the visual effects make this film so ahead of its time and unlike any other science fiction movie anyone has ever seen. My greatest appreciation for this movie is because of the ideas and the questions it raises to the viewers. Everything is very interpretive It adds to the mystery of the film that everything is thrown at you and you come up with your own conclusions. Highly recommended for those who have a strong appreciation for film. Some viewers will find it slow paced and boring while others will be so intrigued and curious they can not stop watching.
