One of the few movie greats!

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2005)

Extremely complex and not very accessible SF adventure that ever since its premiere in 1968 has been the study of film students and buffs alike. Even if you have seen the movie several times it remains one of the most fascinating and fresh films of all time, and you can always find new details, that you did not see the first time around. I really don't consider it a real movie as such; it's lacking a genuine narrative and the story get's lost in the overall message of man and machine in space and so on and so forth. But it's a voyage in a sort of conciseness that transcends the story (and the genre!) and culminating in that strangest of endings ever in a SF-movie. A unique film, no doubt one of the most important Kubrick ever made.
