2001 A Space Odyssey is honestly unbearable to watch. It has not aged well in any way shape or form.
Au contraire, I've watched it fairly recently and it was beautiful in every aspect.
The sequel on the other hand...
Or the Star Wars OT...
It can be a hard watch, no doubt. I'd disagree about it aging well, but I think I get where you're coming from with that too.
It's one of those movies where you have to kinda be in the frame of mind to look at it like abstract art sometimes. If you try and watch it as an actual sci-fi movie, it's gonna fail hard (the SPACE part makes it seem like a sci-fi film, but it really isn't).
It suffers from some really artsy (as opposed to artistic) pacing and editing at times. And I like the movie a good bit.
Yeah, I really enjoyed the book as a kid, and having heard that the movie is a masterpiece I was really looking forward to seeing it for years. Such a boring movie when I finally got around to seeing it, and I don't get why the subsequent books treat it as canon over the book.
