Must-see4/4 · Great. Watch it, and watch it properly.

A sci-fi epic with moments of horror centered around space exploration with an AI and its alignment problems. A memorable classic for many reasons, masterfully directed. The ending is underwhelming but can be forgiven by the weight of the rest of the movie.
