Advantages: Fascinating, thought-provoking, fantastic use of music Disadvantages: None
2001: A Space Odyssey is a sci-fi film made in 1968, directed by Stanley Kubrick and written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke.
One of the recurring themes in this film is evolution. The first 30 mins or so have no dialogue at all, and focus on a very distant point in our past, when a group of herbivore apes are attacked, and one is killed, by a leopard. They are also driven from their water hole by another tribe, so they sleep in a rock crater overnight. When they wake up, they notice that a huge black monolith has appeared in front of them.

Also one of the main plots of the story is not fully explored, but it is hardly Stanely Kubrick's direction which is at fault.
This is a story charting man's progress to the current pinnacle of achievement - SPACE TRAVEL and ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. While the introduction of the development of early ape-man's use of tools (which is very impressive - for a 1960s film I was surprised how excellent the gorilla costumes were it did not look fake at all) Anyway the film then abruptly enters the 21st century on board a space ship.
Nothing is particularly missing, but as the story continues the story does not explain certain events or their significance it merely ...

Internationally renowned conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt lends his steady, baton-holding hand to the performance of some of the world's greatest waltzes. Lading the always wonderful Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra on a celebratory New Year's performance at Vienna's historic Musikverein, Harnoncourt is at his assured yet impassioned best. The waltzes and polkas of Johann Strauss, Sr. and his son, Johann Strauss, Jr. ("The Waltz King") are heavily featured.
