Before i say anything, the film making on display is incredibly impressive and beautifull especially since this done in the motherfucking 60s, it should get respect for that alone.....but everything else is a mixed bag.
Some scenes are full of suspense, some are just decent and some are funny as fuck. Like how can i NOT think about among us when they put on they're space suits?
I think the acting of both astronauts is kinda fine, it feels like it tries to be very realistic in the sense that their delivery sounds laid back intentionally but i just find it not very good either way.
Hal is like the one character i really like since his voice being like that makes sense and i like his dialogue.
Anyway pretty good on a film making aspect but the characters and story are not my thing, i get that its suppose to be like very realistic in that its very slow paced but i don't vibe with that in this film.
2001: A Space Odyssey
An astounding entertainment experience, a dazzling trip to the planets and the stars beyond!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberate, immersive journey through the cosmos that unfolds with the patience of a meditation, punctuated by moments of genuine dread as human and machine confront the unknowable. Kubrick's visual grandeur and philosophical depth create an experience that feels less like a plot-driven adventure and more like witnessing something profound and troubling.
