Stunning cinematography and groundbreaking visuals, introducing numerous things that haven't been done in cinema before, all without computer graphics. Stunning and way beyond its time Epic soundtrack and enigmatic atmosphere Most accurate, scientific portrayal of Space Immense scale and scope of the film, exploring "big ideas" like a man's place in the Universe, technological progress, (artificial) intelligence, man vs. machine, etc; and narrating the entire history of humanity and evolution of the humankind Story being conveyed mostly through visuals, symbols and musical cues rather than dialog, intentionally leaving many of the ideas and scenes open for interpretation. It's challenging I personally love it, and I'm not even much of an arthouse film fan in general... However, I understand why many find it boring, too-long, pretentious, etc. It's very polarizing, kind of a love it or hate it kind of film... I also read Arthur Clarke before I watched the movie, both the novel of the same name which he wrote while working on the filmset with Kubrick, and his previous works that influenced the creation of the movie, so maybe I just had more reference points for the story... If you want more story and more explanations, it's worth taking a look at the "sequel" which was not directed by Kubrick, so it's a very different style and also more accessible: 2010: The Year We Make Contact

Fair point This might be a ploy from SirBalon just for him to give himself an excuse to write a short story

We love you really @SirBalon

Pun and Jada, 2 of the greatest, but most underrated MCs of alltime.

@Teso dos Bichos When I was a teen, I used to go around to this kids house and we would all chill out and listen to that album, while smoking rocky on buckets/Gravity bongs( @Dr. Gonzo) This can't have been too much longer after it actually came out. Classic album, one of the best and It's one where you can listen to every single track and not skip any. We always used to watch Death Row uncut as well and listen to Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep. Those were the days.

Ox out for 9 months. Can only imagine complete ACL tear if that's the case. Feel for him. Worst pain I've ever experienced.
