The best Sci-Fi movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 1999)

One of the best directors of all times died March 1999, Stanley Kubrick. He left us a vast amount of movies, most of them masterpieces, and the others just very good ones. "2001, A Space Odyssey" is his best movie, a true masterpiece that any director would want to make. The first sequence is brilliant, from the dawn of mankind to the threat of the dawn of artificial world and the extinction of Man as dominant specie. This movie is full of symbolism bringing out the special use of symbolic elements by master Stanley Kubrick from the big black thing to the final enigmatic baby scene. This movie achieved something I find brilliant that is the possibility for us to see the movie and make our own interpretation. This movie made me feel small due to it's gigantic power. I think Kubrick looked at our future and showed us his vision of hope and terror. HAL is the perfect character, perfectly created and imagined against Dave, the human challenger who, himself, get's challenged in the final scenes on a surreal experience. This movie is brilliant, just the best SF movie ever made. This is really the ultimate trip, make sure you don't miss it but be prepared to find things you don't even dream about.
