À propos de ce film

Stanley Kubrick redefined the limits of filmmaking in his classic science fiction masterpiece, a contemplation on the nature of humanity, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Stone Age Earth: In the presence of a mysterious black obelisk, pre-humans discover the use of tools--and weapons--violently taking first steps toward intelligence. 1999: On Earth's moon astronauts uncover another mysterious black obelisk. 2001: Between Earth and Jupiter, the spacecraft's intelligent computer makes a mistake that kills most of the human crew--then continues to kill to hide its error. Beyond Time: The sole survivor of the journey to Jupiter ascends to the next level of humanity.

Notes et avis

The first 20 minutes of men in cheap ape suits set the scene for an incredibly long-winded film, where nothing happens. The perfect movie if you want to take a nap. Would not recommend.

My mother took me to see 2001 at the cinema, when it first came out. IT BLEW MY MIND! Also, I appreciated the realism, (my father was a scientist), as space is a vacuum, you cannot hear space ships 'roar' or explosions. The ending troubled my 12 year old mind, but, isn't it a sign of great accomplishment in the arts when what we observe fills us with wonder and makes us deeply ponder the messages we perceive within? Fabulous film.

A better sci-fi movie has not been made
