I rated 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) 9/10 When a film is directed by Stanley Kubrick then the expectations are very high. This is such a difficult movie to rate. The film is very slow paced and I cannot even term it as an entertaining, but the appreciation comes mainly because it is a rare piece of art. Each frame of this movie is like a painting, a prophecy!! This film was made even before the human landed on the moon yet it shows it all!! That how genius was the film maker. It is a movie from the 1960s yet the cinematography is jaw dropping gorgeous. I watched it on bluray on my 65 inch TV in its full glory. I cant explain how gorgeous the scenes were. The dialogue is very subtle, this is a piece of art that talks to the mind rather than telling any story. The film is around 2 hours and 20 minutes. After the film ended I could not resist to rewatch the film again with the commentary! Never did that before. I usually rewatch a film with its commentary after months or few years but with this masterpiece I had to rewatch it right away. There are so many scenes I have in mind and I know they can never go away. If there will be a science fiction film let it be in par of this art. A true artistic masterpiece, just what a cinema should have and be, at least once every 30 years
