What an awesome film! Amazing how modern the computers seem.
The pacing is slow. Voyages are slow, that is the point. Time to reflect and think. You immerse yourself in this film. The graphics are stunning.
Story one- early man, weak, scared, vulnerable. So strongly portrayed, including limited access to water (because the neighbor monkey troop doesn't like to share). Until the monolith. Until the idea of "club", first to kill game for food, then the other troop. The epic moment, after the victory of the waterhole, casting up the bone club, which, as it falls, turns into a spaceship. 100000 years of evolution in one gesture.
And space, he makes it so clear that it is all a long, long fall. Everything is falling at unimaginable speeds.
Much more to say, but no time. Too bad!
