2001: A Space Odyssey

"Still the grandest of all science-fiction movies." -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

2001: A Space Odyssey is a countdown to tomorrow, a road map to human destiny, a quest for the infinite. It is dazzling, Academy Award®-winning visual achievement, a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. It may be the masterwork of director Stanley Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke)... and it will likely excite, inspire and enthrall for generations.

To begin his voyage into the future, Kubrick visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever conceived) into colonizes space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted realms of space, perhaps even into immortality. "Open the pod bay doors, HAL." Let the awe and mystery of a journey unlike any other begin.

Fantastic! - Steph_R

This movie is considered one of the classics, so I was quite perplexed when I heard such awful things about it from my family members.

I ignored those negative comments and decided to give the film an objective screening. I was in awe. This is my favorite type of movie: one that let's its viewer determine the film's meaning and one which requires its viewer to be engaged and to think. It is a classic Kubrick, I found the ending to be reminiscent of The Shinning.

If you are really confused about the film after seeing it, I recommend pondering about what you've seen. If all else fails, you can do a quick internet search and read a wide variety of interpretations. The think the fun is coming to your own conclusion so try to do that before searching for others' interpretations.

Enjoy!

Not for me - Nelle

I enjoyed the music in this movie but the story, if there was one, was tedious and hard to follow. It started with a bunch of apes (presumably our ancestors) jumping around grunting for a long time and then one of them made a club out of the leg bone of some animal and discovered that he could club animals over the head with it and then eat them. I had heard back in the day when it came out that it received academy awards and wanted to see it but did not enjoy it and I don't see what all the fuss was about. In light of what has happened in space since the movie was made, the whole space thing was very childishly portrayed. I may have missed some important element of this movie and would be happy to have someone explain to me what was so great about it! (other than the music)

Art really is subjective... - usernameya

There's no objective way to look at art. Or if there is, we don't possess the ability to do so yet. This films intent was to make the viewer think, come up with their own interpretations, in other words use their imaginations. When you have someone do that, they can create a great image/interpretation in their head which nothing can beat. That's what this film did for so many which is why it seems so great to them. It's one of those "Don't you get it?" type of things. Most movies are designed so that the viewer can for the most part, shut their brain off and have all the images, sounds, story etc pumped into them. So watching a film that doesn't do that is a new experience which may be annoying to some but adored by others. I don't think it's as great as I hear people make it out to be, but as I said, this film lets their imagination get to work so it's impossible to rate what their mind came up with during viewing. I highly recommend the film and see what your brain can come up with.
