2001: A Space Odyssey

Release Year: 1968
Review: It's one of those films which I ought to have seen years ago, but it somehow alluded me. I had high hopes going in since its a Kubrick film, whom I'm a fan of, and its supposed to be the greatest sci-fi movie of all time. So, unfortunatly I was very disappointed. I found the entire film to be extremely, almost unfetchably boring. I guess I'm missing some major point to the movie, and I suppose that makes me less of a person, but I just don't think the movie holds up over time. Maybe 40 years ago the special effects could hold the viewers attention, but it did not hold mine. I nearly had to turn it off on several occasions I was so frustrated with it. I really wish I liked this film, I just didn't.
Rating: 2/5
