Classic Sci-Fi

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 1999)

With the 2001 just around the corner, I've started looking back at Sci-Fi I watched as a kid. I enjoyed this move then, but was just too young to enjoy it to it's fullest. Now I see how much of a glimpse in to our future.
Arthur C. Clarke has spent much of his file bringing the future to us today. This movie has opened up so many discussions, creating so much independent though. He didn't try to direct us to his views, but left it up to us to see what we wanted. Clarke created more than 2001, he created the ability to see 2001 from with in ourself.
Kubrick, has brought us some of the most talked about movies. With his passing, Kubrick's works will be in HIGH demand. For any one wanting to start learning about Kubrick, 2001 is a great place to start! Over the past year I've started researching Kubrick and his works, and I was so amazed to find that 2001 was part of his list! As a child, I just didn't know who Kubrick was hand how he help shape so much of the cinema we see today.
Space.Hal. and the unknown. These three characters, yes characters, bring to the screen an unforgettable combination that could never be matched. Space, known yet unknown, the great vast void, the future of man. Hal, a creation of man, to help man be better than he is, but can man's creation improve on himself? The Unknown. that which we have to face, to be more than we are.
2001 bring these elements together so well that you can feel the tension, feel the fright in the faces of Dave and the other Crewmembers.
