Still amazing

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2003)

Still, after all these years, one of the most transcendent cinematic experience. The usual criticism leveled at 2001 are that it's too long or boring, or that it hasn't aged well. Rubbish! This is the antithesis of a popcorn movie, and as such requires a commitment on the part of the viewer. The effects are still solid, and besides, this isn't a movie that relies on special effects... The ending sequence has always been more suggestive than anything else. A true masterpiece that still echoes in every sci-fi film made today.
