2001: A Space Odyssey
1968 | Sci-Fi | UK | Directed by Stanley Kubrick
Overview
Apes, monoliths, HAL 9000, and a star child. Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke built the most rigorous science fiction film: real space silence, rotating sets, and effects that hold up against CGI half a century later. The match cut from bone to orbit spans four million years. The stargate remains the furthest out mainstream cinema has gone. Ambition absolute.
