Promsing, yet overrated film....

Rating: Null/10 (4 August 2002)

I've never seen this film, but I decided to rent it on DVD since everyone had so many good things to say about 2001: A Space Odyssey. Visually speaking, it is a typical Kubrick film, but come on, whats so great about it? Theres little dialouge, absolutley no character develepment, and the storyline and plot are barley there. The ending felt too much like Planet of the Apes (2001), which made no sense. This film, though, was promising. It had the potential to be a great sci-fi film, instead it failed horribly. 2 starts out of 5. Skip this and rent Close Encounters or Star Wars or something.
