Kubrick's Masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2019)

What can be said about this groundbreaking film that hasn't already been stated? Yes, it was "ahead of it's time" & set the bar high for ALL SCI-FI films that would follow. Yes, it is undoubtedly one of the last great cinematic works of art to use old school techniques in that genre, i.e. actual miniature models & actual celluloid film. Given those milestones alone, every fan of sci-fi MUST SEE THIS FILM.
Too many incredible moments to mention & praise - but I cannot resist, so screen this for these mind-altering visions: the staggeringly monumental scene when we see the Monolith on the Moon, the "ballet" of spaceships & space travel, HAL's voice & slow descent into paranoia, the "discovery" by the hominid, Moonwatcher, that a bone can be used to kill, and many, many more.
Kubrick made a generous handful of landmark films, most are in my Watchlist, but this 1968 production is by far his masterpiece.
