2001: A Space Odyssey Audience Reviews

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

mariahopkins-18946 I know it is sacrilegious to say something bad about a beloved and highly rated classic, but I might be committing that cardinal sin- I found this film to be a bore. I can totally understand the reasons behind its stature and back in 1068 this would have been epic, but I found the scenes going on and on forever. The final segment with the astronaut flying across space and time seemed as through the director found a cool visual tempo and just ran with it for 15 minutes. Also, please spare me the philosophical musings.

anthonyturno I remember when I was a kid, I was impressed with the dawn of man story line. I thought the cinematography and the score was also impressive. But then for some reason I remember falling asleep within seconds from the scene in witch the ape tosses the bone toward the sky, then cuts to outer space. I thought Id give it another shot. Now that I could see it with adult eyes. Practically the same thing happened. The movie felt like a presentation rather than a movie. With fancy cinematography and score, But very little dialog and plot delopment. And a W. T. F ending. A total waste of time.

f-flind 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 However, I can see how this was a masterpiece in the late 60's with its effects and music, but it is now outdated.

hunterryanbelkin This psychedelic space journey features breathtaking visuals that can't even be matched by today's technology, and hypnotic scenes of no dialogue and only visual storytelling that went completely overlooked upon its release, and are still very impressive to this day. A remarkable achievement.
