2001: A Space Odyssey
Well. I finally watched this film and I must say after so much hype, I am extremely under-whelmed. The visuals are great and Hal-9000 is a good villain, but I have no idea why this had to be 150 minutes... In addition to that, the reason Hal-9000 went crazy is kind of really dumb, like getting mixed messages somehow makes it have an error? I understand this was really influential and must have been crazy to see in theaters but this was not for me. Also, there's no way Stanley Kubrick could have faked the moon landing...

2001: A Space Odyssey completely changed what science fiction could be. Stanley Kubrick deserves enormous credit for directing one of cinema's most visionary achievements, while...
