Not boring.

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2007)

2001 is well loved among the film buff community, and even some people who aren't avid film watchers, but it seems like the general beef with the film is that it is "boring" at some parts. I am not an avid film lover. I have yet to see many, many films that one should see if he/she wishes to call himself a film buff or a film lover. But in any case, I did not think 2001 was boring. I was so awed by the sequences of space crafts floating through space to beautiful orchestra music that I didn't have time to be bored. The only part of the movie where I was slightly bored was at the beginning of the movie with the monkeys, but at the end you realize this was very important to the story.
2001 is, as you have heard many times, masterful, and shows film making at its very finest. It is essential for anyone who is even remotely interested in the cinema.
