Have YOU ever been there? I have.
If I want to see a big hole all I need to do is drive down the street. This is New England, our pot holes make the Grand Canyon look like John Travolta's chin dimple.

Analogously, you probably viewed 2001 on your little portable DVD player and was less than impressed? That is to be understood. 😛

Is this one of those movies no one likes but pretends to like so they can seem cultured or a true sci-fi fan of some kind? I don't think there ever was or will ever be a movie more boring than this one. The package should have a warning like you see on some medications, "may cause drowsiness, do not operate heavy machinery!" with the sleepy eye guy right ...[text shortened]... ok shop and lives in his mother's basement.
I rate this movie F minus minus.

The movie has grown on me over the years. It's atmospheric. There's something about it that no other movie has. It's like listening to a symphony, though I'm not talking strictly about the soundtrack. It's a visual symphony.
Its more of an experience than a movie, everyone gets something different from watching it and each time you watch it you can appreciate it in a different way.
They were going to remake it ala Lucas but the only thing that needed remastering was the Atari logo to an Apple logo.
btw "My God, it's full of stars!" is from the movie 2010 not 2001, but it is a quote in the book 2001.
If you don't like this movie, please read the book then watch again, give it another chance.

People who think the film is Teh Ghey because there is no big blazing gun battle in it won't change their mind after reading a book in which, IIRC, there is no BBGB either. Frankly, I'd be surprised if they made it through the book at all. Lots of letters and things, you know. No pictures at all.
