Review of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) by Nitish — 22 Jul 2013

First thing first, this is not a movie; this is a piece of art completely focused on realism, logics and detailing of complicated space science of expected future. Additionally some imaginations are also added in the movie to give philosophical and dramatic touch.

Overall this is a combination of Failure and success and both are so much mixed up with each other that one can’t classify them.

Still elements of success and failure are as under:-.

SUCCESS POINTS.

• Most detailed and realistic picturization of outer space and technology.

• Realistic acting.

• No attempt to create any kind of thrill, a completely different approach for a Sci-Fi movie.

• Beautiful use of Music.

FAILURES POINTS.

• Lack of connectivity through entire movie between the different phases.

• Lack of conclusiveness. (Either thrill or conclusiveness, one is must).

• Poor ending.
