This movie is concerned with intelligence
as the division between animal and human, then asks a question: what is the next
division? Technology is treated as
a mere vehicle for the human crew, and as
a shell for the immature HAL-9000
entity. A very influential film and still
a class act,
even after 25 years.

Good day, gentlemen. This is a pre-recorded briefing made prior
to your departure. In which for security reasons, of the highest importance,
has been known onboard during the mission, only by your HAL 9000 computer. Now
that you are in Jupiter's space and the entire crew is revived, it can be told
to you. 18 months ago, the first evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was
discovered. It was buried 40 feet below the lunar surface, near the crater...
Tycho. Except for a single very powerful radio emission, aimed at Jupiter, the
4 million year old black monolith has remained completely inert. It's origin
and purpose... still a total mystery.
