Stanley Kubrick is my god now. I mean......WOW.
Quick thoughts:
- the use of music was genius and added to the mood of the scenes brilliantly
- on the other end of the spectrum, there's also brilliant use of lack of sound.
- building on the last point: steady breathing, when isolated, is one of the most unnerving sounds ever.
- the special effects have actually held up pretty well.
- HAL 9000, with his soft, calm voice, is one of the most terrifying characters ever created.
- the final act has to be one of the most bizarre and mind blowing sequences I've ever seen
- the only thing I didn't care for was the second segment (with doctor Heywood traveling to the space station/going to the government meeting/going to the Lunar Base), which really could have been trimmed down quite a bit.
Grade: A/A+
