I thought I'd really enjoy this. I study astronomy and astrophysics at university (college) and I love movies, especially science fiction. It would have been really visually appealing in its time, but since George Lucas came along, special effects have come a long way. So it was kind of dull watching a spaceship move for 5 minutes. Some good bits with the HAL computer. Shocking dialogue and SO much cheap talk. 'Hi' 'How are you going' 'good thanks. you?' 'yeh i'm doing well' 'fantastic' 'good to here it' 'you to' oh my gosh get on with it! How did that garbage get past the editors? And don't tell me I should read the book to understand it. That completely defeats the point of a movie. If you want some good science read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It's really funny and while cleverly stupid, the science is actually quite thought provoking.
