Some Love It, Some Hate It

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2019)

I'm personally in the grey area.
I love Kubrick, I think he's a technical genius (a mad one) when it comes to filmmaking and this one is his testament of how good he is on the technical side. On the story side, Kubrick isn't that fantastic. This movie is not meant to be understood nor was it meant to be answered. This movie is a technical marvel that has groundbreaking visual effects that stood the test of time. This movie is fantastic BUT...
I didn't really enjoy it as much as I hoped for... not to say I hate it, I think it's amazing but it didn't hook me like the rest of the critics that seems to be saying it's the best Sci-Fi movie (even though this one goes in to my top 10 easily). This movie just doesn't grab me. It's a shame because I do love it but I just don't find it that fascinating (the whole hype surrounding it probably killed it for me). Overall, it's a fantastic movie meant to be watched and appreciated and not meant to be understood
