Comments: "Let the Awe and Mystery of a Journey Unlike Any Other Begin"..."2001: A Space Odyssey" requires you to watch in a different way than you normally watch films. It requires you to relax. It requires you to experience strange and beautiful images without feeling guilty that there is no complex plot or detailed characterization. Don't get me wrong, plots and characters are good, but they're not the be-all and end-all of everything. There are different kinds of film, and to enjoy "2001" you must tune your brain to a different wavelength and succumb to the pleasure of beauty, unfettered by the banal conventions of everyday films.
