Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2011)

I really didn't get this movie & not just the ending where the guy is in that room but the entire movie. Honestly i expected a lot more from Stanley Kubrick after i saw the shinning(1980) which was the 2nd greatest horror movie i ever saw 1st of course being scream(1996) & all I got was a plotness mess of scenery & for some reason, very bad special effects as it did look quite fake. It seemed like different things were just happening without purpose like the 1st scene that was set very early in the B.C.s. Why is this movie so popular? Should I watch it again? I know that lots of people were confused by the ending but I was confused by the entire plot.
This i reckon is Stanley Kubricks worst film ever & I definitely would encourage you not to watch it.
And now the ending. After the credits were rolling i just went OMFG WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!! The guy found the thing floating in space & then there was a burst of colour & then he was in that room when he slowly aged & after he died he basically turned into something called the star child & if you're gonna tell me to read the book to find out what the ending means then obviously the movie hasn't explained it meaning it is not a good film! I hate it how some people who originally hated this film liked it after reading this book.
3/10
