Best film ever made in cinematic history
This is one of the biggest cinematic achievements ever. In the 150 minutes of its runtime, I was dazzled, blown away, glued and befuddled. I don’t think anyone can dispute this as the best science fiction film of all time. Even if you don’t appreciate the film, at least appreciate the impact it has made on science fiction forever. How many sci-fi films has referenced this and stolen bits and pieces of it? The fact that this film was made half a century ago, 50 YEARS, makes me wonder how does someone would be even crazy enough to attempt this in 1968?? Only Stanley Kubrick. Transcendent masterpiece.
The classical music chosen by Kubrick, it brings a seriousness and transcendence to the visuals.The 'futuristic' predictions, space station shots, and story all come together quite well into an enjoyable and unique film.
The film is a journey through outer space, but it is also a journey through cinematic space. It conjures the future by making you sit through its vision of the future, spending time just being in it.
