This really needs to be seen on the Big screen but it was nostalgic to see it again, albeit on an average TV. The DVD version was all a tad too dark on my screen and the volume too erratic so had me grasping for the control several times. Apart from the over long and slightly stagey monkey/early human history at the start, I liked the pace and atmosphere of the film. The understanding of it is down to the individual to grapple with and interpret. Some people just don't get it but it is rather out of this world. Best treated as an iconic bit of cinematic history.

I love this film, because it coincides with my interpretation of the story/history of humans. CREATION animation (YT: ZAFOSOPHY). In this film, the Creator/God via a Monolith gets the Human Race started, whereas in my interpretation, God GMOs the first humans directly, as confirmed by Mitochondrial Eve, which suggests that all humans had a common mother. The other film I bought was CONTACT. I love that film, because years ago, I used to have very similar visions, when she meets her 'father' on the beach.

This was a film I had heard a lot about, an older film about space that intrigued me. I had wanted to watch for a while. However, I feel you need to watch this through more than once as there is a lot to follow. Am pleased I purchased it - aim to watch it again soon. Although perhaps didn't hold the interest I had hoped.

Beautifully filmed. Fantastic (1960s) special effects, way ahead of it's time. A great story with a thought provoking plot. If you enjoyed watching this, the sequel "2010 Odyssey 2" is worth tracking down, as it answers some of the questions posed by the original.
