Amazing science fiction film.

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2016)

2001: A Space Odyssey, is just that. A huge adventure. There's a lot of mystery that surrounds the meaning of this film. One thing about any science fiction film is that, if it's any good, it will include a warning to society, or many. In this case I feel it is warning us to not depend too much on technology. Kubrick uses a lot of extended takes and long views to enhance the feeling of distance and enormity of space. also to stress the realism he is going for. He does an excellent job of conveying meaning with very little dialog throughout the film but especially in the beginning where he shows prehistorical occurrences. Many people find it a boring film, but I completely disagree. This is one of the best films ever made. Just have patience.
