Technically ahead of it's time by far then any other Science fiction film

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2005)

When Stanley Kubrick thought about making 2001,the movies that were being made at that time were science fiction films that were comical at best.I'm talking about the film's were you would have bug eyed alien's,and bulky robots. 2001 set the standard of what a science film could be,and what it could become.The graphics in the movie are still impressive even after 30 years have gone by.The film takes it self seriously which helps it because the movie's plot is serious.Keir Dullea acting is groundbreaking especially for having little dialogue.In my opinion I think 2001 is far more superior then star wars.The classical music in 2001 was the right choice for the film because any thing else would have seemed out of place for such a gradual paced film.This movie is probably the only film back then to have scientific accuracy about traveling through space,for instance,having no sound in space, which i think star wars forgot about.2001 is not overrated it heavily underrated ,and I do wish people would give it the acclaim that it deserves.
