See it on the BIG screen and take your kids with you :o)

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2001)

Just saw it for the first time on screen, had seen it on TV years back. Not the same movie! If there ever was a movie for the big screen, this is it. Totally brilliant, one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Took my 9 year old son with me, he understands very little spoken English (it was not subtitled as it was shown at a festival, practically unscratched copy :-), is used to the boombangcrash of Starwars and computer games and it was shown late in the afternoon so he was a bit tired too. He liked it a lot, especially the slow scenes in space, the ones that I'd thought might tire him. So don't hesitate to take your kids along, just expect to have to explain occasional parts of the plot, but take care not to explain until the movie explains it.
And if you have a chance to see it in a cinema instead of TV - DO IT!
Thank you Kubrick
P.S (non 2001): And remember, you owe it to your kids to show them the movies you liked at their age, because if you don't do it nobody will! And that would be a shame, Neverending Story is a case in point.
