Review of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) by Cpt_Zeep23 — 06 Sep 2011

Kubrick's 2001 is a film that when I first saw it, I hated it. I think it's the kind of film that you have to... speak it's language to understand what the hell is going on. having said that, watching the film now I have to say it's one of my favorite films.

it's utterly hypnotic and that tremendous sense of everything that is unfathomable is all through the film. I really liked hal, the artificial intelligence and found it profoundly disturbing when they "killed" him.

as far as the ending goes, I have my own interpretation of it, but a definite answer as to what it "means", I have no idea. but i'm not sure I want to know. it's as mysterious as the universe.
