It's insane just how ahead of time this movie was when it came out in 1968. We hadn't even landed on the moon yet, but this conveyed what space was really like so well
Best of Kubrick

The f/x not only stand-up to today's f/x but surpass in many ways. So glad I saw it at the theater when it first came out. What an experience.

Way head of it’s time. Just watched it a few years ago and was blown away at how real it looked for that time.

And they’ll tell you we didn’t have the technology to fake black and white grainy moon mission videos 4 years after this was made.

Insane just how ahead of time this movie was? Excuse-me but I fail to grasp your point. It's an outstanding movie, but it doesn't tell us so much about the future of humankind. The future of humankind will be based on automated exploration spacecraft

Has to be the dumbest movie ever, not to mention the slowest.

A masterpiece of cinema and the AI computer HAL 9000 wouldn’t let him off the spaceship, art imitating life

I mean this is just the same thing as jumping off a boat into the ocean and forgetting to put down the ladder. Mankind's been doing that since we invented seafaring
