Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey is a visual and philosophical journey through humanity’s evolution, artificial intelligence, and extraterrestrial life. The film’s complications arise out of its abstract storytelling, especially the cryptic final act where astronaut Dave Bowman enters the “Star Gate.” The ambiguous imagery and lack of dialogue force viewers to interpret themes about humanity’s place in the universe. HAL 9000, the malfunctioning AI, adds another layer of intrigue as it raises questions about the ethics of creating sentient machines.
