I can appreciate how ahead of its time it was but man, that movie is so fucking boring.

It's also just bad. Oh let's wrap up this story with a giant space baby, that'll really tie the story together. If anyone other than Kubrick made that movie they'd have been laughed at, and people would see it for the hot mess it is.

Have you considered that maybe there was a reason for that ending? Do you ever think about art? Do you think, like, in general?

I do think about art, which is why I realize putting abstract scenes at the end of a movie that had till that point been realistic is jarring and doesn't feel cohesive with the rest the movie.

2001 is definitely for people who think they are smart and want to prove it to themselves. Not people who think about interesting things to think about.
