A journey that spans the human existence

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2015)

This movie is a journey that spans the human existence. From the earliest days of pre-man to a glimpse into a future of something greater, this movie is breathtaking and awe-inspiring at every turn. The creation of the HAL-9000 was genius! The dynamic between the crew and HAL works! But, go to the beginning of the movie, and you see a truly inspired look at what we could have been! Add the dark visitor and the dawn of man begins in a most fascinating way!!! The long looks as each scene rolls along with the ominous, symphonic soundtrack would usually be a very uncomfortable slow part of a movie but not here! Here the long looks work beautifully!!!! Here, bigger IS better!!!! I don't hand out "10"'s but this movie deserves at and so much more!!!!!! Sit down with lots of popcorn for this one and "open the pod bay doors, HAL"!!!
