amazing visuals, amazing film

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2010)

The set designs and visuals on this film are amazing. even after 40 years, the sets look fresh and %100 believable. In one scene, the astronauts are watching video on devices that look just like the (recently introduced) i-pad! As in all of his movies, you can tell Kubrick's eye as a professional photographer-which was his first career before coming to film making.
Even if the ending sequence leaves people scratching their heads a bit, as a cohesive work of art this film is right on the mark. It's visual art.
The sequel to this film takes place in 2010. The director was not involved in the project, however.
