Worst Movie Ever Made BY FAR

Rating: 1/10 (19 July 2017)

I am a huge movie fan. I constantly watch movies. I love movies. Sci-fi is one of my favorite genres. And I hate this movie with every bone in my body.
We start this "movie" with 15 minutes of watching monkeys dance and interact with a giant rectangular prism that looks like the sample model in a 3D modeling program. What purpose does this serve? ABSOLUTELY NONE! It may be meant to show that this object affected human evolution, or may be meant to show "human nature". But really, who gives a crap. It does absolutely nothing for the narrative.
Speaking of the narrative, there is absolutely none. This movie is literally nothing but Stanley Kubrick jerking off to the set he created and the shots he framed. They may have looked great in the 60s, but they don't look particularly impressive now. It's not that it looks bad, but the movie takes these gigantic pauses, and lingers on shots for a really long time, because you're supposed to be admiring how good the visuals look. It bored me to tears. This movie also has no memorable characters whatsoever. The only name I remember from this film is that of HAL, and that is because this AI has more personality than any of the humans in the film.
NOTHING HAPPENS IN THIS MOVIE!!! These astronauts mope around their ship for a while, HAL goes rogue and kills a few people, and the main character drifts off into space. That's it. I have literally summed up the entirety of this film.
The movie ends with this confusing, ugly, pointless scene in which the main character drifts off into space for what seems like an eternity. We spend what feels like 20 minutes watching him drift through space while space gets really colorful. It's stupid and pointless.
He then is in an alien room, for some reason. Then he gets old. Then a baby floats across the screen. What does this mean? WHO CARES?!?!? The movie is finally over! YAY!
Never, EVER watch this movie. I'd watch The Last Airbender, or The Room before I watched this crap
