Great and exceptional motion picture

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2014)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) is truly a great and unique motion picture. By saying unique, i mean boldness of this picture. It is great because of many things - truly unique storytelling, simple and at the same time difficult plot, the special effects which in the year 2014 looks great, classical music incorporated with dazzling and breathtaking visuals and a scope larger then life.
"2001: A Space Odyssey" is not a trill ride or "lets grab a popcorn and watch some sci-fi flick" type of picture. To truly appreciate it, you have to sit down and simply enjoy it - it's like watching a painting, and "2001: A Space Odyssey" is a true art.
This movie is segmented in parts, and all of them are truly great in they own way. The most sophisticated and after 2nd viewing still unclear to me is the last part, probably for which i'm giving a 9/10 for this classic. I know, art sometimes isn't meant to be understood, but nevertheless, for me it was a bit to much.
Overall, "2001: A Space Odyssey" is a motion picture, that can truly be called an art. It's never going to get old, even if humankind will reach Jupiter one day, this motion picture will always going to be viewed as a classic art of movie making. It's bold, unique, gorgeous sophisticated and unforgettable.
