Stunning film

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2003)

This truly deserves to be in the top 25 films of all time. It's ranked 56 out of 250 here and so is just a little low, I believe. Looking at the voting, as of today, 40% of people who rated this film rated it a solid 10...few films score that highly! This film was absolutely mind-boggling back in 1968 and it has stood the test of time. Stanley Kubrick has a knack for making immortal films and this is definitely one of those! The SFX were quite advanced for their day and the visuals still hold up well. The mix of music was perfect! Who'd have thought of a classic Blue Danube Waltz while docking a space craft? I truly love this film and I intend to buy and keep it!
