2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Wow. Simply amazing. An extraordinary, poetic peek into the fabric of life and, as it were, humanity's possible next step. Not that this wasn't to be expected of Kubrick, but this is probably one of the single best directed films I've ever seen, with more or less every shot filling me with awe; if this is indeed about the evolution of life, could this then be seen as the evolution of cinema? (And if so, how come we haven't really evolved much further since its release?)

Grade: A
