One of the classics of SF on film

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2004)

2001 is one of the classic SF movies. It dazzled me when I first saw it on the big screen back in 1968, and still has the same effect on me today on the small screen, 36 years later. Although it is slow-moving, especially by today's standards, and the special effects show their age, to me it has withstood the test of time.
It's a film that requires your full attention and requires you to think while watching it, not one that you can turn off your brain for two hours, although I do like those sort of movies as well.
What else can I say? It's brilliant! Oh, and the music is good too.
