the term in not misused.
A visual treat on a par w/ "L'Atalante," meaning it is "pure" film, which can be enjoyed solely as a visual experience.
But it is so much more.
The early creatures crouching in the cave, huddling their young, as the leopard stalked above.
The loss of innocence: the strike of the bone weapon.
The use of music.
The still non-pareil Fx.
The incredible verisimilitude of the space ships and zero gravity.
The death scenes in space, and the gradual killing of Hal.
This film was made when ethology was a "hot" new field, and no question was more discussed than," from whence sprang human intra-species violence?" Kubrick has made not only a visually arresting work, but one that manages, w/out the use of talking heads babbling endlessly (the death knell of so many French movies), to "discuss" critical questions, including the how and why of Man's existence.
