the monkey thing was cool
2001:A Space Odyssey is quite simply the worst thing to happen to cinema ever. Its forced profundity has caused millions of people all over the world to force themselves to like what is quite simply nothing more than an exercise in style.
Kubrick has no idea what he is doing here. His film jumps around with little to no sense of unity. The great film makers of the world create a series of events that contain clarity of information, something Kubrick couldn't bet his life on.
What is the purpose of what is going on here? Is there any coherent message? I have heard suggestions that it is Kubrick's message about the future of humanity, but what future is that? Does Kubrick even know?
This is Transformers for the art house crowd. Pure style over substance. Nobody actually likes this film, they just like to be seen liking it.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Man invents tools. Man becomes slave to those tools. The tools start to behave like man so man brutally murders them. Man sees the cycle, sees everything, and transcends—goes nuclear space baby mode. The 4k disc looks very nice.
so people in the 60s thought that 2001 would be the peak of human intelligence and space travel but all we got was low waist jeans and shrek
Dear College-Age Matt Singer, who thinks this movie is long, boring, and pretentious:
You’re a fucking idiot.

LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENED FOR OVER AN HOUR

Ever since I joined Letterboxd, nothing has scared me more than the idea of trying to write about 2001: A Space Odyssey. The fact that everything has "already been said" about this masterpiece has itself already been said so many times that there's not even an original means of expressing my lack of originality left at my disposal. So with the knowledge that I will probably never be able to fully encapsulate what makes this my favorite movie of all time—let alone say something truly unique about it—here is a small list of a few things I love about it.
I love that the monolith has remained an enigmatic symbol capable of being read in any number of different ways…
y'all make fun of alexa now but she's bound to snap one of these days...
“i can feel it. i can feel it. i can feel it”
maybe the most monumental film in history, and even better on the big screen. and while rewatching it today, i finally realized why it hits me so hard every time: it doesn’t feel like fiction to me. i know it is, but it feels tangible, like an eventual future, even in the abstract. there’s a thread of truth running through it, sparking a fear and wonder in me that no film has ever matched in the same way, the most colossal and terrifying inevitability of our current existence: we are not alone
Great font choices in this thing
I had a disclaimer at the top of this review but everybody went off telling me how wrong I was anyway, so scrap that, you'll just have to remember that this is merely one person's opinion and that we're all entitled to one.
First of all, I like Kubrick's films, love some of them in fact, but I can't even pretend to like this one. Of course I understand the influence this film had on the industry in its time, but that doesn't mean that I found it enjoyable.
It was heavy breathing and scenes of nothing (pretty nothing, nevertheless) against epic music, or sometimes even just a creepy choir, for 140 minutes straight. I wanted to switch it off…
Monke: discovery of bone = evolution
Me: discovery of Wi-fi = buffering
Truly, we have fallen.
