This is one of the most important movies in history and the quintessential space film.
However, I will not rate its importance and external transcendence. Just the film itself.
1) Visually stunning like nothing I had ever seen before. I do not know how they pulled this off in the 60s. 2) Narratively very mature and open to interpretation.
However, it is messy and takes a long time to advance the story in favor of visuals, which can be boring…
