Good morning, HAL?

Rating: 5/10 (23 April 2002)

Besides being one of the most frequently misquoted movies ever, this film is also one of the most overrated. Yes, it has an excellent score and an intense ten minutes. It also gets bogged down by its own attempts at grandeur and epic greatness. If you haven't read the book, most of the film is uncomprehendable and confusing. It could use some heavy-handed editing (or rewriting so that it actually makes sense as its own body of work).
