Horrible.

Rating: Null/10 (21 June 2002)

This movie is so bad, I can't even find a word in the dictionary to describe it. Why on earth would anyone want to see this? Stanley Kubrick has got to be the most overrated director in the history of cinema. I don't think there's ever been a director who's made so many bad movies and is hailed as a God. The whole movie is pictures and music, or what some of you would call "art." There's like maybe a half hour of talking in a movie that's over two hours. So much time is spent on the "art" of this movie that it doesn't even feel like a movie. God, you go to the museum to see art, you go to the movies to have a good time. I cannot even describe the agony of watching this film. In fact, it was so bad I had to get up every other minute and walk around. You will never in your life see such a boring picture. This is THE most boring and overrated movie of ALL TIME. How does Kubrick do it? It seems that all he has to do is make a movie that no one understands and everyone goes nuts over it! I could have shown scenes of space and men in space and mammals beating each other with bones and would it be called one of the best films of all time? I even tried using my imagination to "look" for something in the movie that I thought I wasn't getting but I couldn't even get over the fact that I was still watching it. Is this even classified as a movie, or is it a space slide show? Yes, it's beautiful, but I wanted to see a freaking film. Don't recommend this to friends. They'll shoot you. Kubrick once again steals the show with a real dud. Psychologists should show this film to people as part of an experiment on boredom. You'll wanna ship this movie off into space, or at least go to space yourself to get away from it. Ignore all the hype, this movie is a waste of your time. It's NOT entertainment. Kubrick needed to realize why people go to the movies. This is possibly one of the worst films ever, and it's praised as a masterpiece! Ahh!
