The cinematography is indeed splendid, as are the colours and settings, but there are so many memorable images. One are the visuals- even after all those years they are simply outstanding. The acting is not the film's best asset, but it is good enough, with Douglas Rain the standout as the voice of HAL 9000 as he is really quite brilliant. Besides, and this is up to interpretation, but I think the slow pacing is deliberate, it adds to the haunting and eerie quality 2001 has and also to assimilate every shot which speak volumes, and also 2001's greatest strength is actually in the details.The story is somewhat abstract in its structure but is also quite complex, innovative and interesting yet has a simple message, and the screenplay and direction by Kubrick are superb. But it is never boring, well not to me it isn't. It is quite long at around two and a quarter hours, and it is slow, that I agree with. ![]() ![]() To me, this is not only Kubrick's best film but also a milestone of the genre. Yes, things get extremely psychedelic and trippy for the last half-hour's light show, but then it was the 1960s and you wouldn't expect otherwise. Dullea underacts to the best of his ability and is all the better for it, and of course Kubrick's direction is masterful, with incredible attention to detail. Everything that happens takes place very s-l-o-w-l-y, but this was intentional and I don't think there's any better way of getting across just how elongated being in space really is.HAL 9000 dominates the film and is my favourite computer creation in cinema the most tragic too, I think. Yes, the film is incredibly slow, long, and extreme arty, but it's also a masterpiece and quite possibly Stanley Kubrick's greatest directorial effort.After a lengthy introduction that quite wonderfully shows off man's pre-history (and includes THAT famous jump cut), we're transported to the interior of a spaceship, where protagonist Dave (Keir Dullea) must contend with the machinations of his computer, HAL 9000. Films like STAR WARS or ALIEN wouldn't exist without this, the first film to realistically portray what space travel is actually like. 2001 A Space Odyssey Soundtrack Torrent DownloadĢ001: A SPACE ODYSSEY is without a doubt the 'ultimate' space movie. ![]()
