The greatest film experience ever produced-Infinity stars out of 10!

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2019)

I saw this for the 1st time when I was 11. I liked it, but I did not fully "love it." Had I written this then, I would gave give this an 8. It's slow pace and little dialogue had appeal, but not enough for me to love it.
I am 20 years old now, and after seeing reviews and researching it, I decided to see it again. (Look up Chris Stuckmann's review on You Tube for an example.)
At a used DVD store, I got it on New Year's Eve, and than I saw it the next day. I now have a new proposal for this movie: This is the greatest film experience ever produced!
The movie does not really have a "plot" per se, but it's rather a compilation of sequences of special effects that thread into a story about humanity, and how technology affects it over time.
This creates many impressive scenes, one in which a monkey discovers how to use a bone as a tool, but then uses it as a weapon-first against other bones, and then an armadillo. Another with laser lights near the end, as well as the star child in the film's finale.
I referenced Chris Stuckmann's review. In it, he mentions that the movie hypnotizes the viewer. This is absolutely true! Many scenes, like laser lights segment, put me in awe and filled me with wonder.
There is very little dialogue, like I said. However, more is said with the images than whatever could be said with words. We see man evolve(I disagree with evolution but it fits with the narrative), advance in technology, the technology overcome man, and man overpower it, among many other elements.
My Grandma saw a couple minutes of the movie with me, exactly 2 hours in. There was no dialogue, but a rainbow of colors flashed on the screen. She walked away to go in her room and said "I think you wasted your money." She said that about the American Film Institute's pick for the 22nd best movie ever made!
Keep in mind that 2001 is not a movie you watch, but rather experience-and what an experience it its!
Forget about 10 out of 10 stars, I give this an unlimited amount of stars. This is a wonder to behold. That's just a handful of the praise that this masterwork deserves! This is now my 2nd favorite movie, after Silence(2016)!
