Watered down 2001:A Space Oddysey

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2002)

Good sci-fi movie with a good story and good lead actors although the production was average.The script and screenplay could have been much better in order to propel the movie to a higher level.Also,the climax transport scenes were too short and unsatisfactory what with the CGI capabilities on hand today.The lesson of the movie is also subject to many interpretations and although important and controversial enough to hold one's interest if one likes these subjects,leaves a person who has been fulfilled by greater masterpieces such as 2001:A Space Oddysey and the STAR TREK series unsatisfied.Still,worth a look for big sci-fi fans and fans of Foster (although Foster seemed unsatisfied with the production as well).They had a chance to make a classic here and they settled for much less.....
