Film buffs please don't crucify, but I couldn't finish that shit it was so boring. My "Classics" are shit like The evil Dead and American werewolf in London.

Do you have to be like wired differently to enjoy that film?

    I love the movie, but it is a slow lumbering beast. Kubrick leaves a lot of the details on the periphery, and it takes a little bit to piece everything together. Story aside, it's an amazingly shot movie, wonderful to look at beginning to end. Working with Clark also made it a very forward thinking and radically different scifi movie for the time.

      Have you read the book/novelization Kubrick and Clarke wrote? Turned the film from pretty good to incredible for me.

        Yeah I read all of Clarke's 2001 series and a lot of his other books. The book obviously fills in a lot of the details especially with the ending.
