2001: A Space Odyssey Review

Written Review

This is the classic movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, and I did not enjoy it. I was bored and confused and this took me a few days to watch. That's okay, but I just didn't enjoy my time. I wanted to finish the movie and that's why I gave it the score I gave it.

The visuals were great here, but the story just took a long time to get into anything, and I wasn't impressed with the story.

Spoiler Alert

The Apes

THE DAWN OF MAN, when I saw this.. oh boy I was scared. Scared, not as in I didn't want to watch, scared, as in "what on earth amd I about to see?". And in fact, what on earth did I just see? This was crazy and clearly these were just people in Ape suits and I laughed more than anything. But then this object showed up, and okay?

Thoughts

Now, I don't want to bash this movie, because I know there are a lot of people that love this movie. And, I don't feel the same way, and I did love the imagery of the whole movie, so that's what I want to show here..

Hal 9000

I loved Hal, he was great and his voice was very good for the character.

Suits

The suits looked a little flimsy, but still, I'm sure it was fun to wear!

Score

I'm trying a new way of reviewing, by implementing a new way to review - using a format taken from 2toRamble! And that's the system! Rate those 5 categories out of 10, average your score, and that's your /10 Rambler Rating! You can rate each category to the nearest hundredth, tenth, whole number, or whatever you please.

For this scoring breakdown.. 3 out of 5, and exactly 3/5. This was an interesting watch..

Category	Score	Reason
Emotional Impact	3	I was confused, but I liked the movie. Wasn't much emotional attachment.
Characters	3	Fine characters, a small story - but nice acting.
Plot	3	What even did I just watch?
Dialogue / Prose	2	Very limited, didn't have much for me to enjoy.
Cinematography / World Building	4	Beautifully shot.
