[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] 1337 insertion fantasies aside, [i]2001[/i] is an incredible film, with a very potent message. I am surprised so many of you who apreciate good science-fiction aren't all that into it. Perhaps you haven't seen it on the big screen. That's really where you will come to understand the magnitude of the thing. I was lucky enough to catch the restored 70mm print up in SF a few months back. It was amazing. There is so much detail. I mean the acid-freak-out sequence at the end is easy to poke fun at, and it could be argued is the weakest moment of the film. I don't claim to understand it, and wouldn't even hazard a guess around you lot. That excepted, the film had so much to say about the plight of man and his tools and which is which. It poses difficult questions and evokes uncomfortable emotional responses and does so with such vivid and tangible imagery. I mean the visual storytelling is just remarkable. There are so many big budget films that have come out since with access to all this newfangled technology, that can't even touch it. It is truly is a masterwork. [/QB][/QUOTE]
