Hey is 2001 : space oddyssey still worth watching ?

Submitted ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨ONRYO@feddit.ch⁩ to ⁨movies@lemm.ee⁩

I know it set some sifi benchmarks and introduced ideas , concepts when it was released . But is it worth watching now as we have more films better or not with same concepts ? Does it still hold up ? Does it have any plot holes ? Is the story good ? How is the pacing ? What about the characters are they fleshed out ? All in all a spoiler free review or the answer to these questions will be appreciated .

It’s very slow paced. Very, very.

I wouldn’t worry about badly aged special effects or the audio. It’s still OK.

Give it a try. And switch to another movie if you’re bored (the Babadook maybe?). Stanley Kubrick won’t judge you. ;)

If you are cuious and have easy access to a copy, I would give it a watch. if you’re have a Goodwill qeuivlant or movie store and have a DVD / BluRay player, you can get a cheap copy with luck and patience.

It’s a quality film. The book is great along with the sequels.

Visually it’s amazing story points are pretty good and leaves you thinking.

Watch it. It’s worth it.

    2001 and 2010 were made into movies (2001 was written along side of the movie being filmed)
    
    2061 and 3001 are books.
