Great but long and dated

Rating: 7/10 (20 October 2000)

Arthur C. Clarke said "If you understand 2001 completely, we failed. We wanted to raise far more questions than we answered." And 2001 did just that, a wonderful special movie that was way a head of its time in story, music and special effects. Stanley Kubrick had a bad habit of making long movies that meandered and needed to be cut some and 2001 was one of those movies, as a child when I saw this movie the great scenes were great but the boring scenes were very very boring and now as an adult I have not changed that thought. This movie was great for it's time but now coming up on 2001 it is badly dated
