This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

Rating: 8/10 (1 March 2018)

I first tried to watch this film on a long flight from Hong Kong to London but I never saw the middle. The film is beautifully short by Stanley Kubrick and crew. He was definitely a master in beautiful colors and scenes. My problems with the film is the lack of storyline. The movie seems endless at times with the lack of storyline and the pacing of it. I know it's a masterpiece by film standards. The shots and visuals are enough to make me watch it again just not so soon. Kubrick was one of my favorite film directors who wasn't afraid to take risks and challenges. Keir Dullea was fabulous in the movie though. I believe the film needs to be on the big screen to be fully appreciated for its glory.
