Unmatched

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2019)

Simply the greatest piece of cinema in history.
I cannot express how much I love this film. It contains so many incredible ideas and all of them are perfectly executed by a master of his art. There are so many parts to this, all of them excellent, that it is hard to pick any favourites, but...
The audacious cut through 60,000 years of evolution in a single shot as man's first innovation (a bone) is quietly, simply and neatly replaced by a spacecraft.
The subtle, cold menace of HAL 9000, his lip-reading and the horrifying tension of his 'execution'.
The wonder and mystery of the Star Child.
This is a difficult film. It divides people. Neatly. Into people I'll talk to, and people I'd use to feed swine.
