Arguably the greatest movie of all time. A time-tested masterpiece in all aspects if your attention span is better than a squirrel’s.
Possibly the greatest film ever made. In terms of spectacle, unmatched by anything.
It’s crazy that this movie is over 50 years old. It’s better looking than most movies today. A true masterpiece.
This would be beautiful and amazing made today but the fact it was made in the 60s is even crazier. The scoring is great as well.
Masterpiece of science fiction. Just as good today as it was when it came out
Starts slow, but blows your mind at the end.
One of the best, if not THE best, sci-fi films of all time. A certified classic, and a must-watch for anyone who enjoys watching movies.
Take in mind that most of the negative feedback this movie receives is from people not understanding the symbolism. 11/10 incredible
More of an experience than a movie, but truly an influential feat in cinema
The value this film has for many aspects is astonishing. Truly a revolutionary movie for visuals, plotlines, and soundtracks.
