A Space Odyssey movie review

A painted image of four space-suited astronauts standing next to a piece of equipment atop a lunar hill, in the distance is a Moon base and a ball-shaped spacecraft descending toward it – with the earth hanging in a black sky in the background. Above the image appears "An epic drama of adventure and exploration" in blue block letters against a white background. Below the image in a black band, the title "2001: a space odyssey" appears in yellow block letters.

   "A Space Odessey" is a science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick, and co-written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, partially inspired by Clarke's short story "The Sentinel". It was created April 2nd, 1968. The story deals with a series of encounters between humans and mysterious black monoliths that are apparently affecting human destiny, and a space voyage to Jupiter tracing a signal emitted by one such monolith found on the moon. Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood star as the two astronauts on this voyage, with Douglas Rain as the voice of the sentient computer HAL who seems human and has full control over their spaceship.

   In my opinion did not as much enjoy this movie as the other movies I have watched in film studies. This movie was still an interesting movie to watch, with it's futuristic look on technology. The story was not bad at all as well as my favourite part of this movie was the new technologies they thought we would have in the future. The only reason I did not enjoy this movie is because Im not very much into space travel, but space is pretty interesting. I recomend this movie to astronaughts and Sci-Fi space lovers. I rate this movie 3 out of 5 coffee beans.
