“The film is a journey through outer space, but it is also a journey through cinematic space. It conjures the future by making you sit through its vision of the future, spending time just being in it.”
—The Village Voice
“Man has shrunk space, but Kubrick has expanded the cinema.”
—London Evening Standard
“A SPACE ODYSSEY is some sort of great film and an unforgettable endeavor. Technically and imaginatively, what he put into it is staggering.”
—The New Yorker
Stanley Kubrick’s metaphysically rich science fiction adaptation is one of the most visually compelling works of film-art ever made. An enormous step forward in movie special effects, it also showed that serious speculative fiction belonged on the same plane as art films.
