2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey is a countdown to tomorrow a road map to human destiny a quest for the infinite. It is a dazzling Academy Award-winning visual achievement a compelling drama of man vs. machine a stunning meld of music and motion. It may be the masterwork of director Stanley Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) and it will likely excite inspire and enthrall for generations. To begin his voyage into the future Kubrick visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever conceived) into colonized space and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted realms of space perhaps even into immortality. 'Open the pod bay doors HAL' and let the awe and mystery of a journey unlike any other begin. ; ; ; The entire film is a stunning sensuous marvel – a cinematic experience like no other before or since.
