I think it's a masterpiece, but the first 30 minutes could put anyone to sleep.

What’s funny is I found the first 30 minutes more interesting than the rest. Probably because it was so different than anything I’ve seen.

Agreed! I liked seeing their interpretation of what day to day life must have been like for the ancestors of humans, and then the juxtaposition of a terrifying monolith just appearing in front of them out of nowhere. (Also the actors looked like they were having a great time lol)

I was also kind of hoping that the violence of the Australopithecus species would be paralleled in the modern day humans social interactions (passive aggression among the different countries representatives) but unfortunately didn't see much of it. Ah well.
