2001 is so hard to watch

Man 2001: A Space Odyssey was one of the hardest things for me to sit down and watch. I was so happy when intermission hit. I've read some of the book, and I think it did it good justice, but I just don't get why it's such a grand movie.

My dad put it well: it's an experience. And he said it's much better on the big screen.

But I didn't get it. More like a psychedelic tripout. The 2nd part is definitely movie worthy, but the first and last parts just don't add a whole lot. I guess I rely heavily on dialogue and acting, considering I'm an actor.

But the opening sequence gave me chills. I'll give it that.
