I watched it last year and I can understand how groundbreaking it probably was at the time, but just didn’t hit the right notes for me.
It could be one of those things too where I’ve seen so many tropes and parodies of it over the decades, that it maybe took away from the impact for me.
I had only ever watched 2001 on a tube tv. Then I happened to catch it in HD and was stunned by the difference. It's just a gorgeous movie. And then a couple of years ago I got to see it played in a theater and then realized that the sound is absolutely amazing. Seeing this in a theater in 1968 must have been absolutely mindblowing.
It's a giant snooze fest, no matter how the cult followers love it.
This 100%. It is a good movie but the lack of dialogue for the first half hour with the classical music playing puts me to sleep every time. In fact I often put it on when I want to go to sleep.
Ha, I put on the "National Park" special by Barak Obama.... It's great. But, lulls me to zzzzzzzzzz.
Aw man, but it’s so beautiful to look at
