A Space Odyssey is a groundbreaking Science Fiction film directed by Stanley Kubrick and based on a novel by Arthur C. Clarke. Starting at the dawn of time (where primitive animals find a gigantic monolith) to the space traveling future (where a team of scientists find the same monolith on the moon), the movie is one of Kubrick's most celebrated and puzzled-over films. At the time of its release in 1968, some critics contended that it was a masterpiece, while others called it a mess. Today, it is recognized as one of the greatest films of all time. 2001 garnered an Academy Award for its groundbreaking visual effects.
