Wow.
The first time I watched this it did not appeal to me too greatly, however the second and now the third time was simply an experience my level of england skills can not express. This is Stanley Kubrick's best movie that I have seen, i love A Clockwork Orange however this movie is far superior. This would be in my opinion critically one of the best movies maybe lower than the Godfather and I have yet to see Citizen Kane and about equal with Seven Samurai. I believe imdb to be very wrong about this movie. 2001: a space odyssey is also one of my personal favorites.
This movie show the development of man through the ages due to alien contact using monoliths. It adventures through three parts the dawn of man, thousands of years later at the moon and a trip to Jupiter with a cool as computer named Hal. I believe this movie is not suppose to be fully understood epically the first time round and that is the genius. The story seems simple and easy going however there more to the simple scenes then I originally thought. 2001 is a fantastically smart movie with certain future aspects that are so awesome. The music is beautiful and sets a perfect scene for space it makes you relax and watch space move slowly and calmly floating on nothingness.
The acting in 2001 is really good however there is not much words spoken throughout the film. The acting in this movie is not what makes it great, it is the ideas the complicity and the thrill of trying to figure out this movie.
What I love about this movie is that you never see the aliens, they are not like that. The aliens are study the humans and the less of them you see the better as it lets you create a almost personal opinion of the movie that could be completely different to the next persons yet still correct. The way the Kubrick has made each scene so easy going, when really it is quite complicated is genius. I have my opinions of what this movie is about but there always seems to be a deeper meaning to this movie that is unlocked each additional time you watch it.
Kubrick ideas that he put into this movie are really cool, his future that he has created in 2001, which is now the past seem smart and creative. For instance the sticky shoes that the people were on space flights so that they move more efficiently and easily, the way they eat through straws, and then watching how 18 months later both those two things have complete change, because of the new advancements.
The originality of this movie really sets it aside from any other movie I have seen. This is one of the reasons I like it so much. I can not think of a movie that is remotely the same as the legendary film 2001: a space odyssey. The ending is really a spectacular masterpiece. The way in which the aliens are not trying to kill everybody but simply study and learn from us humans and the ways that they can advance ours knowledge so easily.
I am a personal fan of Kubrick epically 2001, a clockwork orange, Dr strangelove, full metal jacket, the shinning, Spartacus and eyes wide shut was alright as well. I am looking forward to watching paths of glory, Bary Lyndon and the killing. Kubrick is my favorite director and this is my favorite one of his movies.
In conclusion 2001 is awesome through its originality and cleaver ideas along with its great story and awesome ending. Watch this movie or i karate chop your grandma!
