One of Stanley Kubrick's greatest works - which is saying something - and still considered by a great many people to be the greatest science fiction film ever made.It is a film that takes us from the very beginning to the very end. Starting from space, slowly and majestically approaching prehistoric Earth, settling us in to witness the birth of mankind. And it keeps going on from there. All the way to the end.The one thing that impressed me the most about this film is its technical supremacy. This is a film that was made in the 60s. Computer effects had barely been imagined back then and they wouldn't be widely used in decades. And yet this film has some of the most amazing visual shots I've ever seen. I frankly have no idea how they even made some of them. Or, at least, made them without going to ridiculous lengths in set-building. And it looks great, perfect even.As for the story, it's a Kubrick alright. None of the man's films are what you would call fast-paced, but this right here just might take the cake. I enjoyed the beginning a lot. The slow pace allowed for the majesty of the imagery to shine and it reflected the slow build-up of mankind rather beautifully. But the space scenes did not pick up the pace, and I do think that they should have. Just a little bit. I get that the style is what it is and when the mood leans more towards horror, it does work, but I still think that the same story could have been told in a briefer fashion. Easily.Still, I cannot fault the film too much. It is quite unique in its mood, approach, story and scope. An iron hard classic for a reason and definitely an inspiration for all the science fiction that would follow. Owe it to yourself to give it a chance.

I know it is sacrilegious to say something bad about a beloved and highly rated classic, but I might be committing that cardinal sin- I found this film to be a bore. I can totally understand the reasons behind its stature and back in 1068 this would have been epic, but I found the scenes going on and on forever. The final segment with the astronaut flying across space and time seemed as through the director found a cool visual tempo and just ran with it for 15 minutes. Also, please spare me the philosophical musings.

Sorry about my english is not so good, and i'll try to made my opinion clear. From current point (Year 2018)of view, there is nothing good in this movie. 1. The most good thing about this movie is visual effect(space, spaceship, a talking-computer etc.), which have won the Oscar , and it is sure the Audience in 1968 would be amazed by the visual effect. But in today the visual effect from the movie looks like poor and we already have so much movie ,documentary talking about space. the space - thing from this movie is a very normal thing now. 2. most part of this movie like a Spaceship-demonstrate-viedo, the movie shows so much details about appartus in the spaceship . Again, in 1968 it would amazed the audience, but today, it's just make the movie tedious. 3. for a movie is 2hour and 30minuts. the story is so poor.As was mentioned above, most part of the movie is show space and spaceship. And the end of the movie is hard to understanding. And i just read about the interview of director, the ending is actually what it shows, no further meaning.....again dispointment.Conclusion: the movie war made in 1968, it was sure a surprise for the world 1968. But today, it is just pain to watch.

A film I experienced many times on the small screen but first time at the cinema as part of a 50th Anniversary showing. It is an epic science fiction story with long, sweeping scenes and grandiose concepts that slowly builds tension. The score is powerful and often unworldly and where the cold, harsh environment of space or large landscapes were present, the music gives way to long silences, equally as moving.The abstract elements felt like lucid dreams and the whole film leaves so much work for the audience, it is a departure from the more generally visceral, fast paced and clear narrative of modern films. To place the film in context, which it deserves, this was released one year before man landed on the moon.
