HAL.... Go Investigate..... Actually Don't.

Rating: 1/10 (24 October 2007)

So we all know that the 1960's were famous for drugs, and if you remember Mick Jagger you should have some more, but what the hell is this movie all about? There's a big rock, some sort of space mission, a computer with a really annoying voice, nice like dance scene with the planets colliding, some animal throwing a bone in the air and thats really about it. No story, no theme, no plot and just no good.
2001 is perhaps the ultimate geeks' movie. Critics were right, Kuberick was ahead of his time with this one. It's only now that millions of sad sci-fi fans can sit and discuss the deep meanings behind the film. At last they can hold their greasy haired heads up high, by pretending they've got a clue what this was all about.
2001 is the film that always gets you. You've heard about it, people say it's great; remember these people are either geeks or liars, and you spend your hard earned money to see yet another re-release. Trust me, it's really not worth it. The Simpsons covered most of the memorable scenes and of course did them much better.
A perfect con trick by Kubrick, who was after all the master of illusion. Come on really, he nearly made us believe that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were in love in Eyes Wide Shut. Catch the right moment, when the world is stoned and Hey presto! HUge Hit! Many people going back again and again because they don't remember it.
