Grandiose

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2005)

2001 is visually stunning. Dazzling. Most of the film is candy for the eye. And an other sense is well treated: hearing. The music is superb. Great choice of classical music. I must admit that it was the first time I saw 2001. And I didn't really know what to expect. I was taken aback right at the beginning with the apes running the show for close to 20 minutes. Of course, like others, I find the end to be very hard to decipher. But it didn't ruin the rest of the movie. Truly a great film to watch and enjoy. I'd love to see it on the big screen.
Seen at home, in Toronto, on January 8th, 2005.
