Unsurpassed science-fiction yet

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2013)

Should I really put my review with when many other already did that instead? Well... I'm not kinda fan of SF films, especially Blade Runner and Total Recall, but 2001 Odissey is... epic marvelous masterpiece! As Stanley Kubrick's film it some of his trademarks(close-ups on faces, classical music score, etc.)it's surely one of his best. Personally I prefer more "A Clockwork Orange" and "The Shining", but this one... As I fore-mentioned music score, well constructed shots, scientific accuracy, HAL 9000, ambiguous storyline open to every interpretations and outstanding special effects(which brought Kubrick's only Oscar)when character travels through time and space looks so lavish and better than most of other recent movies. But in overall, whole movie is and looks better than most newer SF-s.
