User's review

A masterpiece, but flawed by one or two long, unnecessary and rather indulgent sequences. It's unfortunate, but for some reason we're treated to many minutes of Heywood Floyd snoozing in his chair while on the way to the moon, and a flight attendant carrying a food tray to his table. But that's a minor complaint compared to all the great moments in this stunning and ambitious movie. What I like most about it is its scale--it literally tells the story of humankind, in pictures. Don't miss it, but be prepared for a few boring sequences immediately following the Dawn of Man sequence. Oh, and it also contains the single greatest transition in all of moviemaking, but I don't want to spoil it for you if you haven't seen it.

9/10
