I know most of us have seen it, but if you haven't (or it's been a very long time), this is your assignment this weekend. Watching this film with the reverence that it deserves will leave a lasting impression on you.
Welcome to /c/ScienceFiction
December book club canceled. Short stories instead!

I can't get into it, like the premise but it's too slow. Feels like it is the movie that has aged worse from Kubrick catalog. Hal's murder is amazing though. Recomend Ex Machina very much for someone who is interested in some of these themes.
I watched it on shrooms when I was a teenager. From what I remember, it was pretty good as an art piece (atmospheric, cool visuals and audio).
Book is better for the plot/storytelling. IIRC the film was supposed to be a companion piece for the book.
Fwiw I am also not a fan of the movie, but was surprised to find I really enjoyed the book. Might be worth a try.
