Might be controversial but Interstellar. The movie so wanted to be another Space Odyssey and it looks gorgeous, but the whole story is complete ass.
The story in Space Odyssey was pretty poor too. 20 minutes of apes screaming, computer kills astronauts (good bit), then a 20 minute acid trip that ends up in a hotel room. The special effects in space were amazing, but overall, meh.
Fair. It helps to read the Clarke book first, Kubrick didn't really bother to make the story clear, and I'm pretty sure he even misunderstood the ending.
I think once you know what's actually happening, it becomes more watchable. I read a post about it ages ago and watching it after that was amazing.
I love this movie as well, but cringe at the awful "love is stronger than gravity" crap 🤮 Somebody needs to recut that movie with all that junk taken out.
Yup. Fantastic movie ruined by the ending.
Ya know, I used to think that too, but that movie is very rewatchable. I thought for sure I'd hate it on rewatch, but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Agreed. That movie is absolutely horrible, but it’s nice to look at. Not nice enough to look at to tolerate that horrible movie again though.
