Didn't like it much. Perhaps it was because it was too strange, I will watch it again in a few years to see if it might make a little bit of sence.

I have yet to make it through the entire film. I think the longest I've gone with it is an hour. I usually end up falling asleep because I don't understand what's going on.

It dragged on in so many places, the scene with the space station spinning around to the music, fucking hell...GET ON WITH IT!

Don't get me wrong here, I love Kubrick's films... except for this one. 2001 is pretty much a perfect example of everything that was wrong with cinema in the 60s. Pretentious, dull, and just way too "Hey man, groovy visuals" for me. It just seems like one of those old "freak-out" movies with a larger budget.

I liked the film as an achievement. I just think it's a beauty to watch, enough that I bought it when it went on sale. If you're in the right mood, it's really good- and the fact that no one really entirely knows what it's about is very cool, so that you can form your own opinions.
Not Kubrick's BEST, but it's still very good, in my opinion.

Oh gawd, alky, I was just about to make fun of people who like that movie. I'm glad I read all of the posts first.
Most the people I've known (present company excluded) use it as their only chess piece in a conversation because THEY are, in fact, actually morons trying to sound... cultured is not the right word... can I use sophisticated, or is that too synonomous with cultured? You get my point anyway. You're definitely not like that, alky. I'm not making fun of you, just some of the idiots I've come across in my lifetime.

I like it, but Dr. Strangelove will always be Kubrick's best imo.
I think I like 2001 b/c I've always liked movies that are EXTREMELY slow (I'm a big Jim Jarmusch fan) and where nothing really happens. I think it's refreshing to run across a movie that doesn't cater to, what I refer to as, "the Nintendo Generation" (not that 2001 wasn't made in 1968 or anything). to me it reflects a reckless, snotty, kinda "fuck you" attitude on the part of the filmmaker. and I like that.
