2001: A Space Odyssey [1968] Movie Reviews on CinemaClock

If you want light sabers, and a futuristic story of mankinds struggle with "evil" go see the Star Wars movies. (For the most part they were great movies) This movie, argueably, is better than any one of those. At the beginning you start to wonder just what it is you have picked out to watch as you see a rendition of a "caveman" discovering violence for what appears to be the first time. I now understand the revelance of this scene as it depicts the evaloution of violence in mankind. The presence of mind for a film of its' age to anticipate the making of a "super-computer" which devlops the will to survive on it's own, (long before anybody even knew the power of our modern day computers) was a stroke of genius. Personally I would love to see this movie re-made, with todays special effects and CGI, not to mention the outstanding acting talent avaiable, it would become a block buster release. Not to take away from the original, but a re-make would be cool. (for the love of God, KEEP THE ORIGINAL SCORE!! )
