(Flash Review)
For those who have seen 2001: A Space Odyssey and are puzzled either by the stunning visuals or the overarching meaning, this documentary does a nice job in explaining many of the common questions. Since it was produced before CGI effects, it was really impressive to see some of the clever solutions they came up with for floating pens (no string!), the complex tracking shots, the appearance of weightlessness walking and the dazzling color array traveling through the cosmos. The documentary also brings back many of the original actors and actresses. They also discussed the long gorilla scene, H.A.L., the obelisk and the purpose of how it all ties together.
