the most boring movie ever made

Rating: 1/10 (5 January 2005)

I hired this movie expecting it to live up to its great rating, I was extremely disappointed. The only two things that weren't bad in the film were the music and the visual effects. These can hardly make up for this horrific piece of junk. If you like slow movies (everything moves at 0.01km/hr here)than you might find some interesting scenes. I had to laugh at the comment made on the back of the video box: "...it will likely excite, inspire and enthrall for generations." I would describe it as the exact opposite. The script: the start of the movie has a blank screen playing dull music for about 5 minutes. Then you get to watch some monkeys walking around, drinking some water and yelling. Which is supposed to show the dawn of man. Now its into the 21st century and you get to watch very slow spaceships moving, people walking around, funny colours and stars for two hours. BORING. I did like the computer, HAL-9000, cool idea. My advice is to not go near this film and watch 'Star Wars' or even 'Star Trek' instead.
Please note this is my opinion of 2001: A Space Odyssey. I am only 15 and am happy to read any comments people wish to make. Write to pixy_989@hotmail.com
