M - Masterpiece
It's worth an endless respect of human kind if you've achieved such brilliant level in filming. It's a luck to live in such interesting time as 60s in US. When you live and even drive psychedelic revolution and at the same time you're a witness of ambitious space programs. However, if you can convey in your film both unique spirit of psychedelic revolution and space enthusiasm of your era and even do it in your brilliant manner, that's a masterpiece, guys. I never ever seen such perfect combination of pure science fiction and genious creativity in both form and content.
Guys, I really don't understand those of you who found this film "boring". This means you just haven't understood even 0.1% of it. And your claiming to 20 min of "nothing happened" in the beginning says only about your absence of ability to concentrate on anything. And I suggest you go and see an MTV video clips.
By the way: in spite the film was created 50 years ago, the main question risen in the film, regarding artificial intelligence is topical as never before.
