I watched this movie in my Literature of Sci-Fi class and was blown away. The special effects and overall realism of this movie is quite amazing given that it was released in 1968. It is the brainchild of the great Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel by Arthur C. Clarke. I must warn you that [...]

[●REC] — Good, could have been better.
