Second only to "Citizen Kane" possibly, and the best in the last 40 years---a cinemeatic masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2001)

If the demographics broke down by education, this movie is not liked by the ignorant with 10 second attention spans. This movie does not depend on useless dialogue, it spans milleniums, it makes us THINK and CONCENTRATE on the possibilities of man's genius, and the hazards involved therein. It humanizes a red light into the antagonist "bad guy" so much that we fear "him" (it---HAL 9000). Stanley Kubrick was born to make this movie, and if this was the only movie he ever made, he still would be the greatest of all time. Look closer, listen closer, watch closer, concentrate more...and you too will see.
