2001 is the antithesis of catering to market research.  Instead Kubrik strove for and achieved vision, truth and art.  Bravura filmmaking with independent guts.

  Trippy?  Incomprehensible? – likely, if you approach unprepared.  And possibly the most intellectual film of all time.  It asks you to contemplate evolution (and other profound subjects) from the Dawn of Man through the next unknown portal of human evolution.

  Challenges (and rewards) your typical viewing expectations with its exceedingly slow pace and long running time, which is better adjusted to on your home theatre system.
