this move be absolutely and most certainly one of the great film of it and or any other and genre . kubrick be not only one of the great director of all time and but his entire filmography should be put into a time capsule and can never be forget . 2001 represent a space odyssey be a journey unlike anything i have ever see on the screen . kubrick be one of the few director that can draw you in and keep you captivate from begin to end and even with the absence of extended dialogue or plot development . just with visuals along and 2001 be able to present a picture of the future that be both sublime and horrify . positive and no doubt . for my money and it doesn not get much good than 2001 represent a space oddysey . now and the sequel and 2010. that a different story .
