The best and most perfect motion picture ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 1999)

Oddly enough, the first time I saw this film, I hated it. However, after I watched a couple more times, I realized what this film was all about, and soon I became so fascinated by it that I couldn't stop watching it, and now the film ranks at #1 on my top 50 films list. (with The Godfather, and Star Wars as the next two).
2001: A Space Odyssey is perfectly made in every aspect, but the best parts of this film are the HAL-9000 scenes, which make the film what it is. Several people were quite baffled by this film. But I believe that it is about many different themes, such as man's evolution, technology, knowledge, destiny, and man's ultimate struggle with computers. All of these themes are beautifully and brilliantly tied together to make this spectacular motion picture. The best thing about this film is the way it leaves such a mystery behind allowing the veiwer to figure out what it all means.
For those you who have not seen 2001. I very strongly recommend it, and for those of you who have seen it and hate it I strongly recommend seeing it again because this has to be the most uniquely brilliant film ever to be created.
