IMDB

My Rating: 11/10

I mean seriously... this is one of the highest cinematic achievement. Definitely much better than any other sci-fi films I've ever seen. Odyssey 2000? Not even close. What makes human human? What makes human inhuman? What makes inhuman human? The thing about Tarkovsky film is that he doesn't just show you a film, he tries to tell the stories of/for all mankind. Perhaps not all mankind (obviously not everyone likes or gets his films), but man of his kind.
