Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2005)

This film is from the very beginning simply about perfection. The themes which the film contains as well as the production, direction and cinematography all accentuate this. The modern and streamlined set adds to the overall feeling that this film will always be remembered as the most magnificent and wonderful film of all time; Stanley Kubrick's most magnificent film and a work that will inspire generations to come. From the Dawn of Man, the film takes the most imaginative jump to 1999 where man has ventured to the stars in order for us to avoid overpopulation and mutual destruction. After the discovery of a monolith on the moon triggers a shrieking radio signal, man is sent to the Jupiter system in 2001 on a quest to confront its destiny...
