I think 2001 is the best example of the unique characteristics of movies/film as an artform. Other movies may have better acting and stories, but in my opinion nothing beats the visual and auditory experience of 2001.
In my opinion, it really does feel like a journey too. The slower pace makes it seem like you’re far away from humanity on a tiny lifeboat in an endless sea of blackness.
It makes the climactic confrontation with HAL feel all the more desperate and isolating.

It’s a masterpiece.
