2001: A suck odyssey

Rating: 4/10 (13 December 2015)

To start out with, Stanley Kubrick was one of a kind and great at what he did. He made many great movies that really set the bar for what film can do and all of it was out of the box. But, this movie is no good. To todays viewers it is too slow, too vague, and too boring to be worth watching. What makes this movie special was that it was the first of its kind and nothing like this had been done before. Now it is old hat. I sat through this movie hoping there would be at least some tiny redeeming plot at the end, but there wasn't. Most of the symbolism didn't come through. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone unless they were really interested in film. This is unlike anything I have ever seen before and just for creativity and quality alone it deserves at least a 4. But otherwise not worth it.
