Piotr St. says: Unique experience

Rating: 10/10 (8 February 2003)

I've rewieved 3 movies so far and I gave all of them 1/10. But don't worry. This movie does not deserve it.
(Some spoilers possible, depending on what do you understand as 'a spoiler') 2001: A Space Odyssey is an special and unique movie. Unlike almost all others, this one tends to use as little words as possible, the story is told mostly by the pictures and the music - and so, this may be the ONLY complete movie in history, telling EVERYTHING by images, not by words. The book gave a strong explanation of everything: the film simply presents you the pictures (I love one of it: an ape throws a bone in the air, and it, slowly floating down, suddenly turns into a spaceship floating in space - 4 millions of years of evolution and history of mankind, all turn into ONE SINGLE CUT!!!! Incredible.), and leaves all explanation up to you.
Definitely 10/10.
