Tagline:Let the Awe and Mystery of a Journey Unlike Any Other Begin
Favourite line:"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do….."

Kubricks's epic cautionary tale about the perils of reliance on technology and the human condition.
The effects are staggering, and still look good, which is remarkable given that the movie is nearly 40 years old.
Surreal, artistic and stylish, this is a masterclass in visual cinematics. HAL makes for one of the most menacing 'villains' ever to appear on film, the voice actor imbuing the artificially intelligent technology with a very real, very terrifying persona.
Lock the door, draw the curtains, spark up a bad boy and enjoy this visual feast.
A must watch movie.
