its really that hard to understand the ending? do you not really like to think? ohhhh, youre one of those people who like to be told what to think? quickly and simply? i see. there is probably a reason why the library of congress has deemed it culturally and historically significant while you are waiting for some green screen explosions and tits to pop out. anti art and anti thinking, the american way of life. glad no one looks at your chanel.

@sleepinspring

Funny how all these people who like to think for themselves all come up with essentially the same response to this video, right down to suggesting I want titsplosions in every film I see.

Also,

People have forgot how to watch. This movie demands from the viewer to participate in watching. People have gotten lazy due to fastfood movie industry called Hollywood. If you concider Hollywood the only way to make movies well you're going to be disapointed, Hollywood is not even 10% of the whole movie history. So, start educate yourself about the real history of moviemaking if you really are passionated with movies.

[JunkyardBreadfruit]

Yeah, Hollywood's focus on coherent storytelling and pacing just have a stranglehold on the film industry. I should definitely look at all those great overlooked films that consist of 90% near- static exterior shots.

Oh, and thanks for suggesting I'm uneducated. That didn't make you sound like an arrogant prick at all.

very poor review. the point of the film is to keep you guessing. you make you're own interpretation. if you find it boring you're not the person to review it. i feel the slow parts are necessary for capturing the vastness of the universe and the feeling of loneliness. read john eberts review to the right.

[JunkyardBreadfruit]

So I shouldn't review a movie if I didn't like it? Or does that only apply to movies that Ebert likes?

(I normally wouldn't even comment, but there's something irksome about having a review called "very poor" just because the viewer disagreed with me. I know why I SHOULD like it- I just don't.)

i wacht it hwen i was 7 you fagot matherfucker fuck you

@joker9494949494 How was it poorly executed?

[degree7]

I think the special effects in this movie are fantastic, and the film looks like it could have been made today. That's one area of the film I disagree with you on, Junkyard.

But overall, I find Kubrick's films to be very SLOW, PONDEROUS, and have CARDBOARD characters.

[Leatherbubba]

Anybody who dislikes 2001 should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart!

YOU'RE BORING AND PRETENTIOUS!!!!!!!!

[u57]

I applaud you for being honest. Truth is some films have reached a level of "enlightenment" so to speak where you'll be burned at the stake for saying you don't like it. This movie is one of them.

My problems with this movie is that it simply isn't engaging. As you said, characters are lifeless. Pacing? What's that? And seems to be nothing more than an arthouse film.

Also just to reference, I've seen Kubrick's other films and this is probably the only one of his I don't like.

[Clesarie]

Totally agree with you. I absolutely think this movie sucks.

[matthewmch]

@JunkyardBreadfruit i think the question of whether or not you will like 2001 comes down to how you want your story told. its a spectrum-- cheesy blockbusters on the right, pretentious art house to the left. Spielberg is just to the right, coens just to the left. you, i assume prefer the archetypal way of storytelling and the right. i've found the arch plot tiresome after seeing it over and over and over. there's no shame either way.

personally, i think 2001 is the greatest film ever, ever.

[joker9494949494]

@OneDeviousBastard well of course they are different, but the ships design(inside wise) was heavily alien style in pandorum. but i think that was a horrible movie. hah to be honest. i mean it was decent but the whole people turned into orcs kind of thing was a silly idea. and poorly executed. pitch black was a fun movie, but still not as great as movies like predator, alien, terminator, evil dead and the list goes on.

[joker9494949494]

@OneDeviousBastard Alien didnt copy all of it. there is a reason why Alien is better known than it. and there is a reason it has 4 films plus two shitty ones and has spawned comicbooks, toys and novels. not to mention brought weaver to the big screen and sent Ridley into history as one of the greatest directors.
