Sanity at the Movies reviews 2001: A Space Odyssey. "So completely absorbed in its own problems – its use of colour and space, its fanatical devotion to science-fiction detail – that it’s somewhere between hypnotic and immensely boring. The uncompromising slowness of the movie makes it hard to sit through without talking – and people on all sides when I saw it were talking almost throughout the film. Very annoying." --from the original New York Times review of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
