A computer hacker discovers that his life is nothing more than an elaborate simulation run by an evil AI.
- Michael SurberNovember 18, 2025Still one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made. Say what you will about 2001, this film was just as revolutionary and technologically advanced as any film that had gone before. Including everything that ILM had created for Star Wars. Watch this again like it was the first time and try not to have your mind blown with "bullet time" and the 360 degree camera shots. Then remember that no one had EVER shot film like that before. Still incredible.
