Memorable, crazy movie
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
This is not the first time I got tricked by the reviews to look at an old, slow movie. I am in love with science, while movies such as Interstellar amazes me. However, only the last 30 minutes of this movie fascinated me, and that is NOT enough to make up for the other 2 hours.I wont go into details because I have already seen people calling those who do not like the movie for "stupid" (the "Rick and Morty syndrome"? / nostalgia?). Besides, I just wanted to write this review as an early millennial. However, I can see how this was a masterpiece in the late 60's with its effects and music, but it is now outdated.
What can I say about a film which is often considered the greatest ever made? 2001 was a breakthrough in technology, theme and content and is quite possible the finest science fiction movie ever made. To think that this movie inspired everything from Star Wars to Alien and Close Encounters.... science fiction owes a huge debt to Stanley Kubrick and 2001. If you haven't already then please go and watch this film. You won't notice the almost 3-hour runtime I can assure you that much.
This movie has been my favorite sci-fi movie from the moment I first watched it! I gave it a 9 mainly because the performances could've been better. Sure, they're the less important thing about the film. Sure, there's not a lot of them. But they still could be a bit better. But the themes and effects overshadow them, making this the quintessential movie for all movie lovers (and not the ones who gave this masterpiece 1 star saying that it was mindless and meaningless; the REAL movie lovers out there)
It was fantastic the whole way through, loved the special effects Stanley kubrick is brilliant a classic that will be remembered for a long time !!!
