For a film that was made in the late 1960’s, it looks like something that could have been shot today. It still feels like a film that could be made beyond today, and that is where the beauty of 2001: A Space Odyssey lies. It is a film that is so advanced, that notion of moving alone is enough to set a terrifying atmosphere for what is set to come. It begs the very question about what is set to happen to humanity as a result of this movement, and what happens if there is no control to this cycle. But the one question to be asked at the very end of 2001 is whether or not we can really go back, and start all over. It is a film of infinite possibility, just as cycles move after they end. A cycle of life. There are too many ways to describe 2001: A Space Odyssey that have been said before, but as is, it is truly one of the finest cinematic achievements ever created.
