A mind numbing journey into past and future

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2015)

I first experienced Stanley Kubrik's movie masterpiece during opening week at a movie theatre in Toronto at age seven. I have watched the movie at least 100 times over the past few decades and it constantly evolves evokes new meaning upon each viewing. The movie spans the history of mankind's time on Earth and hints that we are from "elsewhere" other than our own planet. Kubrik pioneered film techniques that were copied by countless producers in later years, however, the silent sequences in outer space (along with the pronounced breathing from the astronauts themselves) is haunting and unforgettable. An absolutely stunning and thought provoking film that leaves you thinking about the past, present and future.
