Many of Kubrick's films were unfairly slagged off at the time of their release, A Clockwork Orange being one of them, 2001 being another.

This scene rings true to me.

It's a masterpiece.
The reason the scenes are slow is so that you can properly reflect on what is being said with each scene.
2001 is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time by nearly everyone in the film industry. These people know what they're talking about.
You think it's boring? Well, that says more about you than it does about the film.

- So I'm boring because nothing happens in the movie?fredddddd

seen it several times.
1st was when i was very young...thought it was amazing. blew my mind...the apes touching the monolith etc....the spaceflight...how scary HAL was to my young mind...
now as an adult I still find it to be incredible...one the single greatest movies of all time.

Aside from highlighting the bleeding obvious problems with so many movies today this one can really make you think. If you want to dismiss it because of its pace, lack of CGI and space lasers, maybe try it again when your mum stops buying your underpants.
Recently saw it at the Sydney Opera House with the orchestra and it was incredible. Love it. Masterpiece.
- Nice, would love to see it with a live orchestra. That sounds fantastic.dMullins

fredddd is a genius at trolling qbn.

To be clear, I only have problems with lack of dialogue and the long scenes and characters that I don't connect with.
The movie is beautifully made, just boring.
Stop talking about lack of explosions, that's not what I'm talking about.

well if you hated that you'd hate solaris! both versions

at any moment I wrote dialogue is for dumb people.
but that's what QBN seems to be nowadays...
mainly tits, bullshit and fredddd.but if you look closely there's still really interesting and nice things going on, fortunately.
things aren't always what they seem.
this movie is fucking genius.
sorry if it doesn't entertain you or if you don't understand.
well, I'm not sorry at all to be honest.maybe you prefer star trek, star wars, star troopers, star whatever.
people like different things for different reasons.
in all these years in QBN, you are certainly the most illuminated person I came across.so I guess you must be right.
I don't know. i like the movie and had a bad day today.
but your arguments sound so immature and like a 20 year old that sometimes I don't have patience.hope you're doing fine.
this movie is really awesome.
have you seen Solaris?
or Das Boot?
or Debbie does Dallas?

The movie has explosions.
Explosions of genius.The movie has dialogues.
You know how women communicate without speaking.I don't blame you if you don't feel connected to HAL.

I love it. There are some scenes that are just waaay long (the travel scene) but I think the characters are good, not just HAL.
What's really quick cool is all the typography in the movie. Wish i knew what it was.

i always thought it looked cool but never understood it
fell asleep my first few attempts
- The book answers more questions. Less ambiguous.wagshaft

i know that the chess game HAL says he'll win, actually there was a possibility for David to win, some chess experts took footage from the film and analysed it. So HAL was already tellin lies....playinn gaaames, tellin lies!

Always thought it was one of those things people say they like to feel cool but really never even watched it. Or, didn't like it, but still say they do, like every single person who ever watched Beyond The Black Rainbow, because there's no way anyone "liked" that movie or gained anything by watching it.
- I'm pretty sure 2001 is a film people have watched and really do like. I'm one of them.monospaced
- Yes, my thoughts. Its a great accomplishment, but really not too interesting.fredddddd
- if you don't find it interesting then you are DEFINITELY missing the point of the filmmonospaced
