Why this film was meaningless crap...

Rating: 1/10 (4 September 2000)

Long, drawn-out, pointless, aggravating... A friend tells me Kubrick was trying to capture the boredom of space. He succeeded, without providing any particular reason of why people go there despite it. Next to no human interaction, character development. A fairly unenlightening and unsurprising look at human evolution which, in the way mystical crap often does, purports to say something profound when it really says nothing at all.
The sole interesting thing about this film is that the special effects are remarkable for its time.
