Overrated sci-fi classic

Rating: 2/10 (18 September 2018)

Some intelectuals surely burst with joy because of this movie and even from a quiet camera shot of a sci-fi toilet are able to deduce "an evocative allegory of tension and cognitive dissonance of a human who approaches both his mental and physiological limit points". Sorry, but I don't understand why so many people love this movie so much.
At movie's core, I see only trivial ideas, that can guarantee about 30 minutes of screentime, sprawling for more than 2 hours. To make it worse, all is wrapped in a "philosophical cinematography" that makes already unbearable movie even more unbearable. Repulsively long shots, forcible use of classical music, scenes totally devoid of any meaning or point - all of which is repeated over and over until one dies of boredom.
And no, you don't need to read a 2001: Space Odyssey book in order to properly review the movie because Kubrick himself said that book and movie should be reviewd separately.
In my opinion 2001: Space Odyssey is an overrated pseudo-philosophical boredom.
