Kubrick, I forgive you for this crap!

Rating: 2/10 (19 January 2007)

This film is, in my opinion, NOT as good as other IMDb users think (WAY worse!). It's so slow that you'll fall asleep, at least I did (litteraly). The first line you have to wait about 25-30 minutes for. To my big surprise, when I type in IMDb.com to see what other people think about this one, everybody seem to love "2001 - A space odyssey". How is it possible? OK, I admit it is beautifully made and it was the start of a sience-fiction-era which probably have inspired many directors, but the fact it's so boring is carrying greater weight, and the space-scenes doesn't save the film at all! Perhaps I'm born in the wrong time. Perhaps all of you who saw it in the premiere are feeling nostalgia, or something like that. But I downloaded it now in 2007 and watched it directly after the download was finished and I hated it! It's strange! Kubrick ALSO directed my favorite film of all time, "A Clockwork Orange". Therefore, I forgive him for making this ridiculously bad one. God rest Kubrick's soul, and don't watch 2001, watch A Clockwork Orange instead, which in Kubrick shows his better sides as a director! My rate; 2 instead of 1? Because of the great space-scenes; those must have been difficult to make (but, as I mentioned above, it doesn't SAVE the movie at all!)
