I don't get it

Rating: 3/10 (7 March 2002)

I never got what was the big deal over this movie. People talk about it like it was the greatest or one of the greatest movies ever. Yea it had great special effects ahead of its time, and it was by a legendary director, but I dont see how you can even mention this movie with the all-time greats. Even the AFI ranked it as like the 23 or something, best movie of all-time.

There was very little dialogue in it, and the talk was meaningless anyway. The move was broke up into segments, so it never establishes a real flow. I understand its pretty good history movie, tracing man from cave to space, but I still don't see how you can label it a great movie. The love all of Kubrick's other work, but sorry A space odyssey doesnt come near my list of great movies.
