A visually stunning film.

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 1999)

Kubrick was one the greatest directors the 20th century and 2001 is just another example of his genius. It was initially panned by the public but was slowly recognized as being far ahead of its time in both thematic development and directorial control. FYI for all of you Lucas fans: Since outer space is a vacuous environment, sound does not travel. Space is silent.
