Every spaceship, every space station, every convincing bit of weightlessness in cinema owes something to a film made before the technology to do any of it really existed. Stanley Kubrick simply invented what he needed. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), co-written with Arthur C. Clarke, gave us HAL 9000, the most famous match cut in film history, effects that still hold up half a century on, and an ending nobody has fully agreed on since. Kubrick had the models destroyed so no one could cheapen them in a sequel. John, Westy and Matt tackle the direction, the ideas and the sheer audacity of it, then land their scores out of 10. Make of the ending what you will.
