So, I will get flack for this. I hate 2001. To quote The New Republic’s review https://newrepublic.com/article/132297/lost-stars …. “But all for what? To make a film that is so dull, it even dulls our interest in the technical ingenuity for the sake of which Kubrick has allowed it to become dull. “
I watched it on Netflix and probably just used fast-forward on at least half the movie. Some scenes are incredible, but everything is just so stretched it's impossible to watch..
