Cosmic brilliance.....

True, this film has a very low amount of dialogue. But does a film absolutely NEEDS dialogue to be comprehended ?

This timeless evolution proves that it obviously doesn't.

From the very first lights of the blinding sun, the birth of life, to the lashing last moments of man's quest for the truth regarding his presence on earth, this film spans through time and space in a visual, musical and existentialistic trip that astonished me to the core of my being...

The music, a pure example of the artistic evolution of man's quest for communication, is a quintessential element to the illustriousness of this motion picture. It affects the viewer and story by creating an awe for all who experience this majestic voyage, a rich metaphorical component to the eternal quest for human knowledge.

This is, aside from Tarkovsky's spellbinding film Solaris, one of the most powerful example of art versus science...

The impact the film has had on our modern society can be both unclear and quite obvious...

The pursuit for the unknown and to surpass our own past achievements trough a spector of light and exploration.

Creation of a space station, an expansion of our own world to correct our past mistakes...

Wow........
