2001: A Space Odyssey is still the best of all science fiction films, our countdown to tomorrow, a map of humanity's destiny, a quest for infinity. A fascinating visual experience, this Oscar-winning film captures the gripping drama of the struggle between man and machine, a breathtaking blend of music and movement, a film so influential that Steven Spielberg likened it to the "big bang" of a new generation of filmmakers. It is arguably director Stanley Kubrick's major work (he co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke), one that will astonish, inspire and captivate generations. At the start of his journey from the future, Kubrick visits our prehistoric ape ancestors, then transports across millennia (in one of the most astonishing cuts of all time) to a colonized universe, and finally plunges astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into the unexplored realm of space and perhaps even immortality...
