The scenic scenes of people doing crazy stuff in gravity - again boring.
However from the moment HAL kills the crew members, and it becomes a battle of wits it becomes a work of genius.
But then the ending again weird and boring.
Its worth watching for that middle. But in my opinion Stanley kubrick should have cut everything else out and just had the film be about HAL going crazy. |
Little point?? We'll agree to disagree here methinks.....
