2001, made in 1968, was "ahead of its time"

Visually, 2001 is a tour-de-force, nearly 50 years old now (premiered in 1968) but still alive with imagery that stimulates the mind in many ways. Kubrick's detailed direction keeps it going. The problem is the lack of dialogue (nothing for the first 30 minutes) and a complicated unsaid understory about the slow 4 million year evolution of man vs the rapid rise of computer "intelligence" and the power to make decisions. The final flight through the universe has never been repeated in the history of film. Watch it - and watch it again.

FInal 7th season - continuation of season 6
on January 7, 2017
Posted by: 80sTVWatcher
Verified Purchase:Yes
Political correctness in the early 70s forced the studios and the IMF team to focus on US domestic problems - basically white collar criminals and piles of money, drugs, etc. Mission became somewhat repetitive. One misses the international flavor of earlier seasons (ok, we all know they were still made in California but that is a separate matter), but they started from the beginning with Bain and Landau being international and drifted into domestic missions unfortunately. Clearly the Cruise movies are all about international; Paramount should have mixed in international and domestic missions in season 7.

Worth the wait from the 70s version

The IMF team is up to its usual slick methods of finding and disposing of various bad people. But the directors did a good job of holding onto "some' of the old ideas while updating the technology, the camera angles, and the Lalo Schiffrin score. Well done !
