beautiful science fiction film

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2015)

will describe the movie on two prospectives 1:story 2:cinematography 1:story: 10 out of 10 stars . evolution of human beings summed up beautifully from apes to man (on its peak of civilization and technology ) then second phase was man's approach to moon where man with its technology was shown naive as his advancement didn't helped him on moon. just like a newborn he was learning to walk,use washroom ;eating baby food ; no control over tools etc , but he was moving on third phase was shown man's journey to Jupiter where he was accompanied by one of his invention HAL 9000 computer which was brain of Jupiter mission. here it was shown that computer was fittest to that new environment while man at the disposal of machines or tools for their survival .later the computer thought that man is useless and computer wanted to take over the mission but computer misunderstood the courage of man when Dave entered the spaceship without helmet and powered off computer's thinking center with the earliest and simplest tool i.e a screw driver .HAL 9000 was heard pleading Dave not to power off his thinking power. later on on the way to Jupiter Dave was shown to struggle for reaching Jupiter despite of less available resources (he was traveling in a pod instead of spaceship . cant understand fully what happened on Jupiter where Dave saw himself aged. during having meal his glass dropped and was broken although his drink was still there .meaning if one dies his sole still remains or may be it means that it is the achievements of a man which remain forever . 2:cinematography :on many places only black screens are shown which are simply boring still on many occasions plots are lengthened by unnecessary details (movement of spaceship for more than 8 minutes) one get easily offended by this. special effects are outstanding keeping in mind that the film is made in 1969 ..music was also good
