The most over-rated SF film!

Rating: 2/10 (31 October 1999)

I´ve seen this a couple of times. The first time I fell asleep from sheer boredom. This was many years ago, so I thought maybe I was too young (or tired) to "get" it. I saw it again. It was even more boring than I remembered! It´s OK to be artistic, but when a spaceship docks for 10 minutes to the tune of classical music, it just doesn´t work anymore. 2001 has some redeeming qualities, mostly in the whole "HAL"-concept and sometimes the slow, artistic approach works, but they can´t save this film from dullness. Sorry.
