Good - until the end....

Rating: 6/10 (12 February 2010)

This movie was really good.
The acting was good, the music is a legend we all know some tracks of this movies soundtrack and they are all amazing. The effects were so incredible, especially for a movie from 1968 that they are better than a lot movies from the 90s oder 2000s. I mean the effects of Star Trek or Star Wars were all a plain joke compared to this and they came out later...
The story - it was good until a certain point. It was intelligent, it was realistic and it really caught you in its atmosphere. But the ending... the ending was supposed as something to think about.. But you can't leave such a big question mark in the brains of all people who watch this without leaving any real kind of suggestions what the ending intended to mean, you simply can't do this in a movie in my opinion. Because of this I didn't feel like I had finished watching this movie, there was simply missing something and I really mean that in a negative way. Besides there were some scenes that were quite too long you could really cut about 20mins from this movie without missing anything.
