Poor science fiction blockbuster films

[Rodders]

I enjoyed the ad avid Lynch movie a lot. It's what put me on to the book in the first place.

I also enjoyed the TV series and Children of Dune and it's a shame that they're not going to continue.

What immediately popped into my head was I, Robot.

Just a series of explosions basically. Boom. Bang. Kablooey. Yawn.

About 2001; It's more of an avant garde' or art house film than a general release that the public will go see. Ifcourse, no one got it back then, most dont these days as well.

Apes in Africa go bananas. A black thing lands infront of a group of apes, an ape uses a bone to kill another ape; we jump-cut millions of years into the future and see ships in space. Humans end up finding the black thing on the Moon, and decide to send a ship to Jupiter. Follow me thus far?

A talking computer decides to kill all astronauts, a survivor shuts off the computer, leaves the ship, and is taken on a space journey, and ends up in a white room.
In that room the astronaut gets old, eats, lies on a bed, the black thing pops up infront of him, and he dies... and poof, a baby appears, and then he floats in space above planet Earth.

Got it? If you did, you deserve a Ph.D.

The [2001: A Space Odyssey] acting and script was terrible

The script was nominated for best original screenplay at the Oscars.

...Got it? If you did, you deserve a Ph.D.

I've read that the novel makes things a lot clearer. I usually detest movies that are ambiguous and confusing in order to seem "deep" (like Donnie Darko).

I shouldn't like 2001...but I do!
