Humanity finds a mysterious, obviously artificial, object buried beneath the Lunar surface and, with the intelligent computer H.A.L. 9000, sets off on a quest.
A visual (and acoustic!) journey rather than a story with a conventional plot this masterpiece is an audacious experiment that still holds its own as one of the great achievements in movie history.
Halliwell****: "A lengthy montage of brilliant model work and obscure symbolism, this curiosity slowly gathered commercial momentum and came to be cherished by those who used it as a trip without LSD."
Maltin****: "A unique masterpiece, immensely influential...A visual feast, film also boasts distinction of having put Richard Strauss into the Top 40 with "Also Sprach Zarathustra.""
