OOOOOOOOOOOH!
I must say, I do really like the film in question, but I fully understand your point.

88 mins of film (over half!) has no dialogue whatsoever. Now I enjoy a dramatic, tone-setting silence (many sections of the good, the bad and the ugly spring to mind), but sometimes enough is enough!
As an AI researcher, I realise the amount of work seeing HAL play chess has spurred (culminating in Kasparov's defeat), but it also blocked many interesting AI avenues in the process I feel.

(These are my only gripes against what is a fantastically crafted, terrifying and somewhat psychedelic experience)

I sense that your comment shall feel the wrath of a few people but I respect your opinion (and may fear for your safety) ;).
