Review of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) by Tony N — 21 Jan 2018

What happens when the greatest director of all time makes his masterpiece. It's called 2001: A Space Odyssey This film was released almost 50 years ago and it still stand as one of the greatest films ever made.

As Roger Ebert said about 2001 " Alone among science-fiction movies, "2001" is not concerned with thrilling us, but with inspiring our awe." This is the most influential science-fiction film of all time.

It gives you an experience that is so unique that no other film might ever be about to top it. The visual effects still stand up so well that it is astonishing and I have never watched something where the score of the film adds so so much to it that it makes every moment so much more impactful and add beauty to every scene.

That being said the film does lack a bit with a slow pace and it might get a bit annoying that you start asking yourself why is the scene is still going on for so long but by the end it comes back and pays it off in a very satisfying way.

2001: A Space Odyssey is a look into what mankind and humanity is and it explores that theme as such a stunning visual work of art that is so hard not to give this a 5/5 it's a absolute masterpiece that will forever be cemented in cinematic history.
