Full of Cons and Full Of Pros

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2016)

I looked at the trailer, the reviews, and the critics and I had to watch it, and I'm sure glad I did. So basically I really couldn't keep track because so much was going on, but basically I think the story was on a trip to Jupiter, a good, helpful robot turns evil after a rude compliment. He then kills one member of the ship, and then proceeds to refuse to let David enter the ship. David makes a dumb decision to leave his helmet in the ship and here is the memorable scene when he jumps out and risked his life to enter the ship and then shuts HAL down. After that a series of creepy noises and rainbows fly all over the place after David saw on the news that life was found on Jupiter. Then, he is shown dying extremely fast. The scene was pretty enjoyable, and then he turns into a CGI baby floating in the sky, with the memorable (Bum, bum, buuuuuum!) So I enjoyed the movie, I didn't understand the whole monolith thing, and I really want to watch this movie again so I can focus on that part, but still I enjoyed it. Some things were wrong with the movie, (I still give it a 10/10 because I'm generous) It was very confusing. I still am confused. And it's really not like any other movie we have today, Kubrick really went for something different here, and it was a bit interesting. I won an Oscar, and of course nothing but the outstanding effects, how did they have those visuals?? I really believe Stanely time traveled, it's literally 99% impossible to get clear and perfect images of planets like that in 1965, those pictures are good enough to put onto someone's home screen cell phone. (If you're wondering why I said 1965, that's because 1965 - 1966 was the filming dates for this movie, which makes it even more impressive). Just amazing visuals, this looks BETTER than Transformers. Now, another reason why I believe he time traveled (exaggeration) is because he predicted SO much, I mean, he predicted Skype, moon landing, and he even predicted daily news. And things like Siri. How did he do it? This movie looks like a 2001 movie. (See what I did there?) Why do people seem you hate this movie? You ask, well, I think people hate this movie because they're too impatient, and yes, the beginning scenes were quiet boring. But it got so interesting when HAL killed the guy, then you start you ask for the next scene! The dialog was pretty realistic, and so was the acting. Overall, I loved this movie and recommend for families who love Sci-Fi. One Final Note: I liked it, but it should have been called "3001: A Space Odyssey"
