The 1968 film 2001 Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick is an intense piece of work that frustrates and questions the audience due to the perplexing storyline.

Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey is a tour de force of filmmaking, and unquestionably, one of the all-time best science fiction films ever made.

Critics and audiences, past and present, considered…

The official compromise was “staccato-like movements as the arm segments maneuvered through the visual progression”. After this compromise, the sequence went down as a classic in American…
