BlackOp your last post is breaking the thread. There is something wrong with the code you copied and pasted. I had to put you on ignore temporarily to post this.

Does this film stand on its own or am i going to have to see a movie made before I was born before I go to this?
[Reply]

It is fine on its own but I would rec becoming familiar with the plot of the first one.

Look at this uncultured ignorant philistine.

Solid vocabulary there Clay. I usually have a rule of watching movies made before my birth.

It's a rare sequel that absolutely stands on its own while also enhancing the original. You can absolutely see this without seeing Blade Runner. But I'd still highly advise seeing the original first.

God, this movie is pure cinematic bliss. I love it so much.

I don't like it because it insists upon itself.

TBH, I think you might want to give this one a pass then.

The most ****ed up...and sinister thing about 2001? It was rated "G"....Kubrick was THE quintessential "bad ass". Stealth as ****....no matter what he made, there was biting discord at the root.

if you have to make $400 million to break even, why make the movie from a financial standpoint?

This was an impressive film when it came out. I have no idea why so many still rate it so highly. It usually makes it in the top half of 100 best film lists.

I'm in the target audience for artsy slow films. I thought the slow parts of BR 2049 were some of the better parts.

2001 has a lot of special effects that were special back in 1968. Now, not so much.

Outside of a lot of slow scenes of not so special, special effects, there isn't a lot to this film. I guess you could argue a couple of memorable scenes with Hal, but really.

I liked the book as a kid. No idea what I would think of it now.

I found 2001 to be extremely boring.

To me it's kind of like the Beatles. While I appreciate its influence on the much better stuff that came later, I personally have no use for it.
