I'm sorry to disappoint anyone who are fans of this film, but I saw Space Odyssey: 2001 over the weekend and it was the strangest and most pointless film I've ever seen. The only part that I really enjoyed was the plot point about "Hal" the computer. The rest was some kind of drug-induced trip. All of the scenes that had to do with space were so s-l-o-w that I fast-forwarded through a lot of it, especially when any space vehicles were moving. They just downright CRAWLED.
And just what was the deal with with that big, black rectangular stone that stands upright? I get that it's an alien creation of some type, but what's the point? I mean, sheesh, the thing appears 3 times in the movie like it's an actor or something! The only thing I liked about the film was the cinematography-- THAT was pretty amazing. The rest was juicy razzberryville all the way.
Out of the whole Stanley Kubrick film collection that I borrowed from my cousin, this was the worst movie. Just my opinion, of course.
