Roger Ebert

Alone among science-fiction movies, '2001' is not concerned with thrilling us, but with inspiring our awe.

Roger Ebert

The fascinating thing about this film is that it fails on the human level but succeeds magnificently on a cosmic scale.

Variety

Despite the enormous technical staff involved in making the film, it is almost entirely one man’s conception and Kubrick must receive all the praise – and take all the blame.

The Hollywood Reporter

Stanley Kubrick’s production of 2001: A Space Odyssey, for MGM, is true to the predicted goals expressed by the producer-director when production began over two years ago. It is, as promised, 'a majestic visual experience,' quite unlike any film we have ever seen.

IMDb

A perpetually engrossing film that offers more conundrums than conclusions, your interpretations uniquely your own, but the scale, cinematography and concepts are truly out of this world.
