One hell of an experience

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2003)

Expectant, brutal, hopeful. 2001 is one of those flicks you can keep coming back to and watching and thinking about as the story progresses through an evocation of the dawn of the human realisation of the power of organised violence and the struggle of sentient beings to grapple with the forces that are at once protective, constructive and inherently destructive in ensuring and continuing human existence. A piece of work that never fails to elicit a lasting response from audiences both familiar and unfamiliar with the movie and its images, notions, ideas, hopes, despairs. Awesome stuff.
