Far Too Slow

Rating: 5/10 (18 January 2018)

I am an enormous science fiction fan and 2001: A Space Odyssey is considered by many to be the greatest sci-fi film of the 1960s. So when I finally got the chance to watch it, I eagerly sat down and glued myself to the TV but, by the end of it, I regrettably admit I was left feeling disappointed.
Firstly I will admit that the story, cinematography and special effects were brilliant. But I just felt that the film, overall, never really gets going and is simply too slow. Plus I found the ending to be PHENOMENALLY confusing and I even had to consult the internet to fully understand it.
So whilst it's ranked among the greatest sci-fi films of all time, it doesn't do that much for me personally.
