Movie Reviews

Austin Chronicle - 10/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenThis is the way this ground-breaking monument was meant to be seen: in mind-boggling 70mm.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumIts special effects are used so seamlessly as part of an overall artistic strategy that, as critic Annette Michelson has pointed out, they don't even register as such, and thus are almost impossible to trivialize, a feat unmatched in movies.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertOnly a few films are transcendent, and work upon our minds and imaginations like music or prayer or a vast belittling landscape...Alone among science-fiction movies, 2001 is not concerned with thrilling us, but with inspiring our awe.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonA masterpiece that can still leave you dizzy with wonder. As much as any movie ever made, this visionary science-fiction tale of space travel and first contact with extraterrestrial life is a spellbinding experience.
Empire - 10/10 by Angie ErrigoIts faults - sketchy narrative, overblown abstraction - are counterbalanced by its gripping engagement between man and machine, and its rhapsodic wonder at heaven and earth and the infinite beyond.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Owen GleibermanWatching this film demands two qualities that are sadly lacking in all but the most mature and sophisticated audiences: patience and a willingness to ponder the meaning of what's transpiring on screen. 2001 is awe inspiring, but it is most definitely not a "thrill ride." It is art, it is a statement, and it is indisputably a cinematic classic.
Salon.com - 10/10 by Scott RosenbergBeloved for many different reasons, including its scrupulous scientific accuracy, its vast reach from "The Dawn of Man" to the next stage of human evolution, its unrivaled integration of musical and visual composition, its daring paucity of dialogue and washes of silence, its astonishingly creative psychedelic sequence and its still-gorgeous pre-digital special effects.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Desson ThomsonMaintains its artistic magnificence after more than 30 years.
The Nation - 10/10 by Robert HatchA great deal of skill and ingenuity went into this amazing voyage to nowhere.
London Evening Standard - 10/10 by Alexander WalkerI shall go and see it again as soon as possible, for one thing is clear. Man has shrunk space, but Kubrick has expanded the cinema.
