The MOTHER of all Sci-fi-movies!!!

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2002)

The best films are those you can watch several times and get something different out of each experience. One day you might be keen on exploring a film's grand ideas. Another day you might just want a good story, some interesting characters or spectacular action.
2001: A Space Odyssey is such a film, although many people find its seriousness and complexity to be intimidating. After all, it does pack into 139 minutes all of human development from pre-history through to the discovery of Greater Meaning, floating through space out somewhere near Jupiter. Who wouldn't find such a film intimidating?
