2001: A Space What?

Rating: 3/10 (9 February 2013)

This movie contained fantastic special effects. By all means you should watch the effects in this movie. But don't feel bad about skipping over the plot. You would just have to google an explanation later anyway. That said, I don't think this movie deserves less than 3 stars, simply for the fact that it is a beautifully shot film. you have to remember that these special effects were made before anyone set foot on the moon. I found myself longing for more dialogue, but was enjoying the movie until I realized (12 minutes from the end of the movie) that there was simply not going to be an explanation of anything I had just watched. I literally fell asleep during the psychadellic dimensional travel sequence and woke up before it was over. Some of the shots are way too long.
