2001: A Space Odyssey Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Marjory Adams
This film is as exciting as the discovery of a new dimension in life.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
It's a bad, bad sign when a movie director begins to think of himself a myth-maker, and this limp myth of a grand plan that justifies slaughter and ends with resurrection has been around before.
Chicago Tribune
Clifford Terry
The first loss in Kubrick's fantastic winning streak. A decided disappointment in every respect except the visual, "Space Odyssey" perhaps will convince the extraordinarily-talented director to leave the future to Dr. Carlson, and come back down to earth.
Detroit Free Press
Susan Stark
Great blobs of brilliant color smear and splinter into each other, giving birth to seemingly endless varieties of new shapes and shades, in this flight on the wings of Stanley Kubrick's wild, wild, wildest imagination.
Newsday
Joseph Gelmis
After seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey a second time, I'm convinced it is a masterwork. Take it from one who mistrusts superlatives... this awesome film is light-years ahead of any science fiction you have ever seen.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Henry T. Murdock
One thing is certain. Whether you love it or hate it, whether you profess to understand it or admit to honest bafflement, you will not be indifferent to Kubrick's "Space Odyssey."
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Myles Standish
The photography is superb. But on the whole the film is disappointing... Dramatically, it is dull.

Perry Stewart
It is one of the best motion pictures I have ever seen.
Arizona Republic
Stewart Allen
"2001" is like reading a Buck Rogers comic strip and discovering that the last frame is a paragraph from Finnegans Wake.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
From a purely technical standpoint, the expense and the delay seem worth it. Never have space travel and the magnificence of space been portrayed with such convincing detail as in this Cinerama film. But in other respects, "2001" is a maddening riddle.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Elston Brooks
I found it to be dazzling to the eye, plush well worth the wait. It is, in my opinion, a milestone movie, superbly and amazingly filmed, the consummate sci-fi film.
Los Angeles Times
Charles Champlin
Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is the picture which science-fiction enthusiasts of every age and in every corner of the world have prayed (sometimes forlornly) that the industry might one day give them.
Village Voice
Bilge Ebiri
The film is a journey through outer space, but it is also a journey through cinematic space. It conjures the future by making you sit through its vision of the future, spending time just being in it.
Newsweek
Joe Morgenstern
Aa whimsical space operetta, then frantically inflates itself again for a surreal climax in which the imagery is just obscure enough to be annoying, just precise enough to be banal.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
A small sphere of intellectuals will feel that Kubrick has said something, simply because one expected him to say something... Most moviegoers will only wish that Mr. Kubrick would come back down to earth.
The Hollywood Reporter
John Mahoney
2001 will emerge from its initial long-run Cinerama engagements and subsequent extended runs as one of MGM's all-time box office hits ...
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
Though it may fail as drama, the movie succeeds as visual art and becomes another irritating, dazzling achievement of Stanley Kubrick, one of the most erratic and original talents in U.S. cinema.
The New Yorker
Penelope Gilliatt
Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is some sort of great film, and an unforgettable endeavor. Technically and imaginatively, what he put into it is staggering.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Kubrick's sci-fi masterpiece is still relevant.
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
Central to the profundity of the film is the notion that few things are more meaningful than a child's first steps, the emotive impact of this scenario manifest in every one of the film's dizzying set pieces, albeit multiplied to epic proportions.
