2001:A SPACE ODYSSEY is a film but more than a film. It takes film to a new level. No, 2001 is not an action-packed film but what it lacks in action it makes up with in story and exciting visuals. There's actually more going on here than meets the eye -challenge your normal viewing range with this one. Don't be limited to what's on the screen. This movie made me look at the world differently. It made clear to me how beautiful human "ideals" can be while HAL reminds us of all of the potential lurking negative outcome of technological advancement. 2001 should probably be most commended for its outstanding special FX. However it's not for everyone..it's very slow moving and portrays a world in which people have become cold and distant.
