An epic of proportions

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2001)

Kubrick's masterpiece known as 2001: A Space Odyssey gets better with each viewing. The music is excellent, and the cinematography is even better. The story is profound, somewhat confusing at times. The reason many people, whom I know, that dislike 2001 is they didn't understand it. Read the book, by Arthur C. Clarke, which is an amazing piece of literature. The book cleared up many questions I had, even though the movie is fairly straightforward if you pay attention. The dialogue, though scarce, is executed well. HAL 9000's voice is emotionless, maybe even "chilling," thus heightening tension. All in all, 2001 is an experience not to be missed.
