One of Kubrick's best movies ever.

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2000)

I have a cousin who saw this movie once. His reaction was... awful! He thought it was the worst movie he'd ever seen in his life. I wasn't surprised a bit, since I knew I understood it, and I knew that it was movie making at it's purest form.
Stanley Kubrick is my favorite director and this movie is one of the main reasons. Because, let's face it, there isn't a film that's quite like 2001. Not in the sci-fi genre or anywhere else.
When I sit down to watch this movie, I never try to understand it or take it that serious. I just let it pass. I'll just let it go on, and I see the movie just because the pleasure of it. The pleasure of seeing something that beats everyone else, when it comes to being original.
This is a milestone in moviemaking and I have forever respect for Kubrick, for bringing this movie in my life. Let 2001 forever let us know how empty the space really is.
9/10
