I am glad I am not alone in that ironclad Send a noteboard - 24/03/2010 09:15:22 PM
The first 1/2 hour or so with the apes?? Boring. Pointless and boring. The part leading up to, and on the moon? Slow and boring. The end? Confusing and boring. This movie could have easily been cut down to like...1 1/2 hours and still been interesting and not put me to sleep.

Exactly. I assume there are film theorists filling pages about the beginning and end. But what's the point if it doesn't manage to entertain while it is...well, whatever it is the film was doing there :P

I enjoy the movie, or at least bits and pieces of the movie, but there is a lot of boring crap in the movie that just about puts me to sleep. I'm not bummed out that I bought the bluray, because the quality of the images is still beautiful, but I don't expect it to be a movie that I rewatch frequently.

I could imagine watching it in a nice huge home cinema or maybe even a theatrical re-run again, but it's not something to pop into your regular DVD player for a fun evening, that's true.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

You do understand the beginning of the movie and why it was necessary, yes? *NM* everynametaken - 02/04/2010 05:09:07 AM 135 Views
I do, understanding and caring are two different things though.... Brian - 02/04/2010 07:17:39 AM 376 Views

I liked the beginning well enough. The ending, not so much. Legolas - 24/03/2010 09:38:15 PM 327 Views
The transition from bone to space station was pretty cool ironclad - 24/03/2010 10:05:30 PM 342 Views
The transition you mentioned is one of the best ever put to film PhotoJim - 28/03/2010 12:48:13 PM 413 Views
The part where he keeps seeing himself getting older was really cool. Darth_Katie - 29/03/2010 06:27:31 PM 285 Views
