I saw 2001 at its premiere in San Francisco in 1968. What a wonderful trip! ( and what a year) We all were stoneheded, of course..... One of the best memories that continues to inspire some events in my life...and the acceptance that the so called death is just part of the process of living. Salud y amor para todos.

yes, i know, i just saw this for the first time. what?? but yeah, i'm twenty and i just saw it for the first time. pretty spectacular. the use of high-technology driven camera angles and the stargate sequence/birth of the screen saver are totally impressive. for some reason, i am aching to watch a longer opening "dawn of man" scene. as someone who rarely calls themselves a Kubrick fan, this was an awesome film. duh.

Seeing this in 70mm is one of the most transcendent experiences one can have at the cinema. I've been lucky enough to see it twice in that format, not to mention countless times on DVD and Blu-Ray. Incredible that I know it so well, yet it still has such a powerful effect on me. It's images are so awe-inspiring. When seen in a theater they're almost overwhelming.

Love at first sight is not a superstition, not even a literary invention or a mythological crap. Ask anyone of us who had seen this movie and, since then, dedicated the entire life to films... since then, life is the greatest movie of all time. And this is the one, my favourite, my beloved one... THE GREATEST FILM I'VE EVER EVER SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF MY LIFE!!! An eternal by Kubrick.

Beautiful, thought-provoking, and quite scary, 2001 is Kubrick's most accomplished vision.

I understand why many people think this is a pretentious film, yet to me it is one of the rare cases where Kubrick's usually stifling, self-conscious perfectionism works to the film's advantage.

This may or may not be relevant, but I think my favourite part of seeing this film (in the cinema, as it should be seen) is as the MGM logo emerges and with it the low hum of Sonnenaufgang silencing the audience.

I wonder if Kubrick took the question of why we are intelligent and gave us an answer far out in space in any case he doesn't solve this problem just pushes it far away to another planet, another reality, another intelligence. Perhaps he's expressing the nature of this paradoxical question, if something made us intelligent what provided it in the first place can intelligence have an origin if so does Kubrick attempt to show us it's omega point. Of course he simply didn't know like we don't but what makes Kubrick a master is his ability to show us the idea's and how to experience them he does it like no other.

Beautiful, imaginative, and way ahead of its time... only a few other films can match this film in visuals, 2 recent ones off the top of mind are Tree of Life and Melancholia. 2001 calls for countless viewings since there is so much to soak in, that is precisely what makes it a timeless classic.

A space Opera masterpiece revealing the circle of live that does not only surround our planet but the whole universe. It also shows the cold horror waiting for mankind when handing themselves over to computers completely. Pretty slow told, though.

I will defend this movie as a great study of humanity...I think most people neglect to look at HAL as the main character.

I lost count of how many times I've watched 2001 after the 100th, and that was probably 30 years and several hundred viewings ago... I can't say anything remotely like that for any other film. Pure genius.

The greatest science fiction movie ever made. "2001: A Space Odyssey" is a poetic, meditative journey through the cosmos, as Kubrick dazzles and mystifies us with stunning visions of time and space. One of the best and most challenging of all films.
