Okay so I just watched my first Stanley Kubrick film, 2001 a space odyssey and honestly I was bored out of my mind. What the hell is the appeal? There was no story, nothing I haven't seen before in a sci-fi story, it was so slow, there were no real characters and a lot of things that took so much longer than they could/should have.

This probably looks like a bait thread or something but i'm being sincere, currently watching youtube videos about it to try and understand what people see in the movie

Come on user, i'd rather you didn't respond than try to strawman me, I don't even like capeshit.

Okay I guess no one wants to talk about it, i'm going to watch the shining to see if there is something to Kubrick

Okay wait, first I want to ask what is deep about showing random images and expecting people to interpret good art?
Like there were things I liked about the movie, visuals, music (and lack of) but they weren't built around anything, I get that it's about the evolution of man but it doesn't feel significant
Also the atmosphere building was so slow when I was already feeling the atmosphere, it became absurd and I became distracted and bored.

Did you watch it on some tv/computer screen with tinny sound or did you go an see it at an IMAX with the music blasting at you and like 3 story tall visuals of it's gorgeous practical special effects?
That's how I saw it last year and it was honestly one of the best cinema experiences I've every had. Even having that intermission added to the experience.

I watched it on my computer screen and it was still one of the most beautiful movies i have ever seen. However visuals alone are not enough to carry a movie.

It sounds like you're just not that into a visual/thematic story-telling. You might just be the type of person who needs a character to anchor yourself to in a story. Nothing wrong with that, 2001 just isn't for you.

Have you heard the expressions of slow burn atmospheric
