Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2000
Review: 2001: A Space Odyssey: MGM
Rating: USA: G/ UK: U

Does the world really need another dissertation on Stanley Kubrick?s 2001: A Space Odyssey? I mean, books have already been devoted to both this film and Kubrick?s grandiose and...

Awe-inspiring Epic!

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2000
Review: It took me many times to enjoy this movie, but once I caught the spirit of it (that is, I was able to see past the unusual pace and lack of dialog) it became so powerful - in its own unique way, and beyond what any other movie ever offered to me...

Not Full Of Stars Or Much Else

Date of Review:  Jan 5, 2001
Review: Somehow it just seemed poetic, if probably not terribly original, to re-watch 2001: A Space Odyssey on Dec.31/Jan.01 to once again revel in its story of man's evolution from ape to present and beyond, in its marvelous film techniques and brilliant...

A Phantasmogria of film.

Date of Review:  Apr 29, 2000
Review: I'd have to say, this film above all is a work of art. I believe that this is the best film Kubrick ever created, and simply a huge monolith - excuse my pun - in the film industry. With it's great opening, and fantastic effects, and simply...

2001: A Space Bore

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: Don't rent the movie unless you can sit through a very boring movie.
Review: 2001: A Space Odyssey is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. What makes it so bad are the frequent scenes of slow, tedious visual effects with amazingly annoying classical music blasting in the background.

I tried to put up with the...

2001 a great movie if you don't count the classical music

Date of Review:  May 19, 2000
Review: 2001 is a great movie and I would get it on DVD. I have not seen the dvd one yet but I would get it on dvd to skip the 15 minutes of non-stop classical music why they show everything that goes on in space ships going to the moon.

The movie...

Well, no one said Kubrick was easy to understand.

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2001
Review: I'd seen many of Kubrick's films: "The Shining", "A Clockwork Orange", "Eyes Wide Shut". However, one I hadn't really seen (save for a couple of clips, maybe) was "2001: A Space Odyssey". On a recent Sunday afternoon, I swung by the video store and...
