Cool flick...

Rating: 7/10 (30 October 1998)

A very cool movie. The scenes in the Discovery spacecraft are so good. The beginning sequence with the primates is a little too long and boring in my opinion. Also the movie moves very slowly until the end when things pick up a little. Near the end when HAL 9000 starts going goofy, it's very chilling. It's so compelling how a computer can be so malevolent, even though it's a machine and it's unintentional. If you have the patience to sit through a movie that's nearly 2 1/2 hours long, you should go see it.
