This was a fantastic watch. It was very suspenseful and the soundtrack did so much for the suspense. I loved every minute of it, and when I saw the second monolith I nearly s
hit bricks. The ending was left ambiguous and open, making me wonder and keeping it stuck in my head. I love movies where things are left open ended because when you have movies that try and explain the mysteries of the universe/life it ends up stupid and contrived. Kubrick is an amazing director, I would put him over any of popular directors today.
