2001 : A space Odysessy

I watched it in 2 sittings.

The scenes with HAL was pretty mesmorizing. I was reading how there's a stark contrast between the conversational HAL against the astronauts who spoke pretty mechanical. The death scene of the 2nd astronaut was pretty fast, one that it took a moment to realize his death. And you can kind of see the sacrifice that the protagonist had to make to get back into the shuttle, as he launches his partner off into the depths of space.

The overall short stories into a entire movie was hit and miss. The ape scene, the scenes with Hal, and the scene where the astronauts discover the Monolith were pretty amazing. Possibly Earthboundish.
