“2001: A Space Odyssey was the movie that started modern science fiction as we know it today. It's also known thanks to the outstanding special effects, incorporated music and a timeless plot about the constant evolution of human beings.
At the beginning, the ancients of the human beings are shown living their daily life or current status quo until a mysterious monolith appears. This monolith had a lot of interpretations through the time about what it is or what it symbolizes. An interpretation that can largely summarize those that have been given to this object could be the unknown/different. Once the primates see the large object, some react with fear, some with curiosity to know more about it and, the most important for the plot, one of them started thinking outside the box.” read more
“To me, this is not only Kubrick's best film but also a milestone of the genre. It is quite long at around two and a quarter hours, and it is slow, that I agree with. But it is never boring, well not to me it isn't. Besides, and this is up to interpretation, but I think the slow pacing is deliberate, it adds to the haunting and eerie quality 2001 has and also to assimilate every shot which speak volumes, and also 2001's greatest strength is actually in the details.
The story is somewhat abstract in its structure but is also quite complex, innovative and interesting yet has a simple message, and the screenplay and direction by Kubrick are superb. The acting is not the film's best asset, but it is good enough, with Douglas Rain the standout as the voice of HAL 9000 as he is really q” read more

Miika's Movie Diary 2022 (94 movies items)"8.1. Jälleen pieni lovi sivistyksessä paikattu. Alkuun epäröin, että näinköhän on maineensa veroinen filmi, mutta elokuvan edetessä sen audiovisuaaliset piirteet sen kuin hioutuvat huippuunsa ja lopussa ollaankin jo niin psykedeelisissä tiloissa että oksat pois. Mukava aina elokuvan päätyttyä todeta että filmistä saa todennäköisesti seuraavilla kerroilla vielä enemmän ja enemmän irti."
