A testament to humanity as we explore the wonders of space exploration, artificial intelligence, and our ability to use reason to elevate ourselves above all other creatures. - Derek Smith

Its intelligent attempt at exploring human development is as relevant today – long after the date the movie’s climactic events are set – as when it was released in 1968. - Brian Webster
