Young FAN Reviews Wanted (Amy Collins)

 

Amy Collins joined Chapter Arts Centre for work experience and wrote this review for us of 2001: A Space Odyssey 50th Anniversary Release

2001: A space Odyssey was an interesting film and very different to the usual sci-fi film. It is based around a strange object, which is found on the moon and because of this object a group of people have to go to Jupiter.

The film doesn’t have a soundtrack and uses famous classical songs instead. This puts emphasis on the long atmospheric scenes, which wouldn’t fit or make sense in other movies. Despite the atmospheric scenes I felt that some of them went on a little bit long, but it did make you think about why a certain scene was there.

The movie ends on a bit of a cliff hanger and I felt like I left the cinema trying to figure out what happened at the end. This separates this movie from movies with a predictable plot and ending and keeps the person watching A Space Odyssey in suspense.

Overall I enjoyed this movie and would definitely recommend it despite its sometimes intricate plot.
