It broke all new ground. All the special effects crap of today stem from this one film. Sadly they don't have the background narrative nor the spectacular story arch in this original. Today, it's all blasters and action Jackson.
Kubrick showed everybody how SciFi can be depicted. Hell! One doesn't even need dialog to tell one what's happening. And the wondrous music!!! Such music! To this day I cannot hear the Blue Danube without seeing spaceships in my mind's eye.
A near flawless a film as was ever made.
I saw it at its first release in Cinerama in downtown Detroit.
Kubrick! Ever the visionary!
Too damned many fucking spoilers in the new damnable trailer!!!! Why? Oh why do studios do that shit? Fuck them!
