2001: A Space Odyssey: Read The Book First

Mon, 3 Dec 2007 14:55:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bb52 - Stanley Kubrick tried to make this movie as faithful to the book as possible, and as a result, it doesn't explain a lot of what's going on. I read the book in High School, and couldn't put it down. Well written and suspenseful throughout, it's a...

2001: A Space Odyssey: 2001: Apes, Satellites and Star Children

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 10:57:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wrdnik3 - Stanley Kubrick, the director of 2001: A Space Odyssey is a really weird guy (anybody see Eyes Wide Shut or A Clockwork Orange), and he’s always got a message to impart (not like, say, Steven Spielberg). This movie is a study in weird directing –...

2001: A Space Odyssey: Look at the far future with optimism.

Tue, 2 May 2006 09:47:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dierckx - This review contains possibly a spoiler. I explain what happens at the end of the film. I do this because the end is confusing if you don't know something about the ideas of Arthur C.Clarke, an English scientist and SF writer who wrote the script for...

2001: A Space Odyssey: Hands Down, The Most Fascinating Film of All Time

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 04:15:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pat28 - In the summer of 2002, I was sick as a dog. Having a cold in the summer is among the worst feelings that exist on this earth, so naturally I was having a very hard time sleeping. One night, I looked at my clock and saw that it was already five in the...

2001: A Space Odyssey: For All Mankind: Weirdo's take on 2001: A Space Odyssey

Sat, 24 Dec 2005 17:21:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author weirdo_87 - "...Its origin and purpose, still a total mystery". The final human words said in 2001: A Space Odyssey, before the movie reverts to a language told by visuals (A language already extensively used throughout the movie, since only...

2001: A Space Odyssey: How the Universe Was Won

Sat, 24 Dec 2005 03:23:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author strictlypoison - At the time of its release in 1968, Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey seemed incredibly revolutionary in its techniques. It appeared ahead of its own time by light years, and possibly remains so. But the film was not relatively as advanced as the...

2001: A Space Odyssey: Not the great classic I expected to see

Wed, 22 Jun 2005 02:54:55 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author the_mow - This is one of the hardest movies to sit through, unless you like scenery over dialog. It has more shots of outer space than dialog, character development and a story combind. It begins millions of years in the past, where a monolith somehow directs...

2001: A Space Odyssey: Bizarre Beyond Belief

Tue, 22 Feb 2005 01:27:27 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - I like to think of myself as a reasonably intelligent person. That’s why I’m still thinking about 2001: A Space Odessy. I can’t quite figure it out. I mean, I was able to follow the story and everything, but it’s one of those movies that you don’t...

2001: A Space Odyssey: Add 2001 to your collection

Sun, 13 Feb 2005 10:31:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rmsmythe - 2001 – A Space Odyssey was the first film that I went back to a theatre to see five times. One time I took a camera and, furtively, took pictures of the screen! Today’s viewers of the movie have to bear in mind several things. One,...

2001: A Space Odyssey: 2001 - AN INCOMPLETE SPACE ODYSSEY

Wed, 24 Nov 2004 11:39:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coleecip - Few would deny the impact of 2001 - A Space Odyssey or the ingenuity of Arthur C. Clarke, but I believe that this story really lacks any fluidity and detail in its concepts. Also one of the main plots of the story is not fully explored, not perhaps...

2001: A Space Odyssey: "Open the pod bay doors Hal" Open your mind to this movie.

Mon, 22 Nov 2004 14:50:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ninput - Stanley Kubrick is a director whose greatest strength and weakness is his ability to dehumanize anything and everything. All his movies are done with such a cold touch, they can be either a brilliant examination or completely detached. He is however...

Thu, 24 Jun 2004 16:48:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eightiesfan1 - I hardly know where to begin with this review. This is not one of those movies that you watch over and over and can be watched with big groups of friends on a Friday night. This movie is straight up wierd. But that, in no way, is a bad thing...

2001: A Space Odyssey: Clarke's eschatology

Wed, 9 Jun 2004 17:02:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author johngo - Thematic introduction Arthur C. Clarke was one of the leading writers of science fiction in the '50s. What we did not realise at the time was that science fiction was to evolve in a variety of flavours, and the flavour of the '50s was what is...

2001: A Space Odyssey: 2001 : A Space Odyssey

Sun, 9 May 2004 07:38:29 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ramagamma - In spite of all the prestige I have heard attributed to the works of Stanley Kubrick, I approached "2001: A Space Odyssey" with caution in mind. I knew it was going to be film rich in clarity, I knew it had several dialogue free pieces and I knew that it...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author updateghost - One of my favorite movies, and also one of the greatest film experiences I’ve ever had, is that of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The other night I got to experience this film on the big screen at the “famous” Neon movie theater in Dayton...

2001: A Space Odyssey: I have no idea what it's about, but it's beautiful.

Tue, 30 Dec 2003 02:57:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author asyf25 - I have no idea what this movie is about, but I don't care. My eyes have seen nothing more beautiful on film than Kubrick's rendition of outer space in 2001: A Space Odyssey. I don't know if it's the best science fiction movie ever made. But it is...

2001: A Space Odyssey: 2001 has come and gone, but "2001" lives forever

2001: A Space Odyssey: One of the deepest movies, but also one of the most boring.

Wed, 23 Jul 2003 07:45:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author carl_lazarevic - Over the last few months there's been quite a few people who have accused me of getting by on controversy. They have claimed that I possibly like the attention I get from being different, and so automatically bag every popular movie that gets released...

2001: A Space Odyssey: Like a drug trip, without actually taking drugs

Wed, 14 May 2003 16:52:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author simalex - Let's get something straight ? the plot and meaning of this movie is under constant debate. There are so many interpretations and analyses that you (seriously) could hold a course in the literature behind 2001. So I won't try to explain it here.

2001: A Space Odyssey: 2001 - My analysis

Sun, 16 Jun 2002 20:21:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chris_lee88 - 2001's gotta be the most analyzed movie ever. Although not praised as the greatest movie ever made, like Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Gone With The Wind, or The Godfather, it's possibly more well known than any of those. Why? Well, it's so unconventional,...

2001: A Space Odyssey: The Gospel According to Stanley?

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lansky2000 - Stanley Kubrick's 2001, along with George Orwell's 1984, stand as the most memorable futuristic artworks in history, the only pieces of cinema and literature to have outlived their own dates of prophecy. Orwellian history was realized in...

Thu, 29 Nov 2001 01:10:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ecn71270 - Early in 1968, as the U.S. was embroiled in riots and the Vietnam war, director Stanley Kubrick unleashed his landmark science fiction epic 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY on the world. With its nearly unprecedented approach to cinematic technique and near-total...

2001: A Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey": The Meaning Revealed! (Maybe…)

Tue, 27 Nov 2001 12:28:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Ed.Williamson - 2001. We are living in the final days of the Year of our Lord 2001, and so I suppose it is natural that as the year draws to a close one wishes to say a few words about a famous film by that name: 2001: A Space Odyssey.
