I have been trying to watch this for 33 years

Rating: 5/10 (22 March 2018)

The first time I went to watch this film I was only 10, so it is normal that I wanted to leave after the first 20 minutes. I was not mature enough to comprehend and appreciate the visual fanfare created my Master Kubrick.
Three decades later, after watching every film made from 1930 to 2018, and being a huge Kubrick fan, I decided that it was time to give this film another try.
Visually it is an excellent movie, especially considering that it was made in the 60's!
However, I strongly believe it should be 1 hour shorter. Some scenes make it very hard to watch this film. For example: The 10 minute LSD Moon-Trip(ping) is especially hard to follow. Perhaps the artist decided to move in that direction because it was the 60's, and Surrealism was Hip. I don't know.
Sadly I did not fall for the surreal space Odyssey of the otherwise Amazing Kubrick.
Worth giving it a try though...
