This was me trying to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey

Either I didn't get it, or I watched it too late to appreciate the ground-breaking effects. Maybe I'll give it another try someday.

2001 is one of those movies that's really important historically, but doesn't really hold up to modern standards.

Prior to 2001, there wasn't really a market for non-schlocky SciFi movies, the whole genre was just cheap horror stories about aliens and monsters.

That movie opened the door to let us have more thoughtful genre flicks with much higher budgets.

2001 still holds up because it's still the most realistic space travel movie ever made. Very few movies come close, 2010 comes close by default, Ad Astra had moments, but it's a very short list.

Being realistic doesn't automatically make something a good movie to watch. Much of reality is quite slow and boring.
