In Reply to: Well, I beg to differ: I know I'm getting suckered into a subjective debate, but... posted by Audiophilander on May 09, 2002 at 15:11:36:
but you're a bit off on 2001. The scope of the story, the cinematography, the humor, the mystery (is it really a 500# slab of Afghani hash?), and the special effects tour de force ending...c'mon. It's in another dimension from the other films. Except, perhaps, Clockwork Orange. Hint: Kubrick rules, in my dimension.
I liked many of your selections, but couldn't suspend my disbelief because of the poor special effects. That's excusable in early movies, but Star Wars? Very disappointing stuff. If 2001 had never been made, ok. Anyhow, SW has always seemed rather juvenile to me. Those silly creatures. The black and white, good and bad. Ho hum.
Follow Ups:
It is in the form of classic myth. Most classic myths are fairly unambiguous about who the good guys are and who the bad guys are.
one-dimensional characters...I mean, it's jolly good entertainment. With a childish hero (Luke Skywalker), a child-like hero helper (Hans Solo), and dialogue that a teenager or youngster....Oh, what's the use. It either reminds you of your childhood sci-fi tv programs, or it doesn't. You see it as childish drivel or you don't. But it fails at anything resembling a thinking person's creation.
the characters are hardly one dimensional. They may be bigger and better than life but far from one dimensional.
on Ann Francis. And...who's that strangely square commander making goo-goo eyes at her??? Also, the special effects of the energy shaft still are superb! FB rules...
