Review of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) by Robert B — 25 Sep 2015

Some movies get acclaim in their time, but then years later they do not seem so great. For the first hour while rewatching 2001, particularly the moon base sequences, I was wondering if this is really an all-time great movie.

But after the mission to Jupiter begins, the show starts and it does not feel dated. If anything, it gets better on repeat viewings, with more to pick up. 2001 is full of exemplary pioneering spirit and does deserve to be called one of the all-time greats.
