One of the true greats

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2003)

I'm not sure there's much left to be said about "2001, A Space Odyssey" 35 years after its release -- yet in another sense, nothing meaningful has yet been said about it. This is easily the greatest, grandest and most poetic piece of science fiction ever put to celluloid. A work of art in every sense of the term, it has so much to say about where mankind has been and where it is going.
This is one film that simply defies being picked apart and analyzed. If you haven't seen it yet, please do so on a "slow Sunday" when you're relaxed and ready to view an epic sort of film (something on the order of "10 Commandments"). Then just settle in and view one genius filmmaker's conception of the scientific and the spiritual, and where they ultimately meet in the great story that is Mankind.
An easy 10/10.
