Because it's the greatest sic-fi film ever made.
When did nothing happen? Everything was happening. Are you confused, Matthew?

>"time to kill the robot" scene
>aww yeah now he's gonna grab a gun or some bombs and fuck him up
>last action scene was that shitty monkey part at the beginning
>he slowly opens pop cans while the robot sings
Couldn't even make it through that hippy trippy thing.

The opening act, along with the others, has fantastic cinematography, music, and nonverbal plot communication. Most people struggle with the movie the first couple times, just go into it knowing that it's about consciousness, and that monolith, somehow, acts as a catalyst for great spontaneous leaps in the evolution of the human mind. The apes evolve to humans, and Dave evolves into the starchild, which is an abstraction of what it would actually be. Fantastic movie, changed the way I view films profoundly. Due for a rewatch too.

I hope for your sake this is bait. It would be a shame if you were actually retarded.
People who worship this movie are contrarians. That's all it is. There's 10 minutes where you just watch a space station float. There's 5 minutes where you just watch a shuttle fly from A to B and nothing else, not dialogue, nothing.
The Mission has merit. The rest of the film is waste of time.
>30 minutes of nothing at the start
I really hope this is bait, but knowing just how stupid most of the underage posters are nowadays I can't help but feel some people are just a lost cause.

It's one of the most critically acclaimed films of all time.

Contrarians? On /tv/? Really?
You and OP are right about the monkey scenes being boringbut I love everything else about the movie.

>I'll just shit on a classic example well regarded cinema that is also popular for guaranteed replies
You're a plen looking for you's and probably dont' even watch movies or even care to find out about why your'e wrong. In short, kill your self with a gun.

It was a satirical commentary on our contemporary movie going culture.

Not so wise there, Dennis.

It's a good movie, but let's admit it's very overrated. There's some amazing things in it, and some genuinely great scenes, but overall it's just not that engaging a film. Kubrick was overindulgent in his special effects, and it shows. Does not qualify for best Kubrick film by miles and miles.

>Skip the first 30 minute monkey bit
>Skip any scene about anything floating that goes on for more than a minute
>Skip the "symbolism" bullshit at the end
There, I saved you about 1hr 30 minutes and made it in to a good film.
Ape parts are the best part imo

It's a simple-ass fucking story. How can you not get that first part?

You also removed the movie.
LSD was a lot better back when this film came out. Back then people would drop acid, and sit in a dark room for three hours and just stare at all the trippy colors. (And that's before they even start showing the previews for upcoming features. Notice how I went out of my way not to use the term "Trailers"?)
