Some of that is also the director. It's Stanley kubric. He really liked having his scenes sink in. I also found it effective to feel a sense of the vastness of space.

The movie is very philosophical. I think it is similar to blade runner 2049 in terms of slow pace sci fi setting not there for your entertainment but to get you to think.

I think while it could be something to watch for entertainment, I'm not sure that's actually where it shines or what critics even value about it.

Maybe my attention span has been ruined, but Bladerunner 2049 was another that I just couldn't get into. I can see that there's something there, but I think I need to be in the right mood for a slow-paced movie.

That's fair. Personally, between all the dreck I wind up watching as compromise with my partner and kids, getting to pick a movie purely for myself is really rare. If I get to pick a movie for myself, I almost always go for the slow-paced, artsy, philosophical media.

Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy popcorn movies and sharing experiences with my family, but when I get time to myself, I'm not going for lighthearted action/comedy.
