It was a very long and boring movie IMO

It would have been a pretty good 1 hour movie though.

I thought it was visually great especially considering the technology of the time but the story made no sense and the lack of much dialouge really ruined it

Is a very seamless movie with that being said you have to go into it willing to stare at a black monolith for awhile.

Its rare when a movie makes you think as much as this movie does.
Which is why I believe most people cant get into it. Lame.

When you have scenes that are 15 minutes long
of nothing more than moving a rover around
then your gonna bore your audience to death

:sorry:

I read the book version [i believe the book and movie were made together] and really enjoyed it.

didn't see the movie though, and i do believe the story is better suited for a book-- but i'll probably watch it one day too.

the book is a nice light read that is full of thought-- in fact i think i'm gonna crack it back open when i finish my current book.

If you liked the book, then don't bother with the movie
I was sorely disappointed with it after watching it

It's one of those movies that you either love...or don't get. That guy has some interesting interpretations of Kubrick's work.

That's a pretty interesting analysis of the film, albeit, not one I necessarily agree with.

The film is IMO layer upon layer of ideas and meanings, as is all GOOD science fiction. It was meant to provoke both thought, and response, not unlike much of the High Art which came before it. I don't think a single analysis will do it justice, discussion I believe is the only proper analysis of such a work.

Those of you who are spouting about it being boring, well Kubrick certainly provoked a response from you. Though I am unsurprised to find that you are all less interested in the themes, format, and finer points of the film, than you are in trying to figure out why it's not as pretty or linear as Transformers. I guess it's just a bit over your heads.

Boy your assumptions are amazing

I never said that I didn't get the movie at all
Just that it was about 2 hours too fucking long
