shyt is visually perfect I'm literally sitting here trying to look for flaws or any parts that look visually fake. How does a movie from 1968 literally look better than movies coming out today? This wax got me appreciating this movie on a deep level. My mind is blown trying to understand how he made this so perfect visually. The space docking sequence was impeccably done. The Blu-Ray looks magnificent on my 94 inch TV.

hes sitting in the room on the space dock ship talking to his daughter through skype and the moon is rotating in the window behind him as the ship rotates in space, he walks out to the lobby where people are sitting and there is another window that displayed the moon perfectly in perspective w/the distance/angle shift that he walked from the telephone skype room to the lobby. Little details like that is crazy.

shyt is more impressive than Episode IV IMO. Especially that it did what it did and actually predicted so much technology that's a reality now. The film making itself is utterly superb. If there IS a flaw, it's the people in the primate costumes at the beginning.

Stanley K da gawd :wow:

dude no way. I was just thinking for humans in suits they got primate movement/behavior down to a T. The way the moon docking spaceship opens up like a flower blooming w/Strauss's Waltz playing is :wow:

it blows Episode IV out the water. The technology prediction is also :merchant: indeed

what book is this?


fellas, I'm really not bragging about my TV, it's a DLP, it wasn't that expensive. This movie just looks incredible on such a large screen in a high resolution format like bluray. I put the movie on to help me fall asleep (I find it to be soothing w/the classical and space scenes) but now I'm just up bugging out about how perfect it is

Still haven't watched it
If you like sci-fi, or visually incredible films, get to it! let me say this, don't watch it while you're tired, it's kind of a hypnotic movie (mowgli would say boring :rudy:). It's like watching Da Vinci paint his masterpiece the sistine chapel.
