2001: A Space Odyssey

- Open the pod bay doors, HAL. - I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.Watching this film with another person really makes you realize how slow and long-winded it is. When I'm watching it alone, I don't care if it's slow. I appreciate it for what it is. But with someone sitting right beside you, it almost puts this pressure on you, like; **“What if they think it's boring?” **or **“I wanted them to see this, and now we're both sitting through a long scene about a ship just flying in space.”** Nevertheless, it's a stunning feat for cinema. Made a year before the actual moon landing, but it's more detailed and realistic-looking than Star Wars, which came out a decade later with massive amounts of hype surrounding it.
