Also, there was a thread on here about a month ago that someone had posted a link in, and it was a link to a little series of flash videos that seemed to do a pretty good job of explaining 2001. So having watched that BEFORE watching the movie, I was watching along with a little more insight as to what everything meant in the movie.
Interesting way to do it, surprised it didn't ruin it or make it too easy to decipher.

Overall, I really liked it, as I said. I'd give it about a 7.5/8 our of ten.
Probably a fair assessment overall. You're right, seeing it when it was released was most likely a much larger deal. It was way ahead of its time.

Overall, I thought it was a solid movie...I guess I just had higher hopes for it. I'd give it about a 7 out of 10 though, as I still enjoyed it and liked the story. I felt like it could have been about 30 minutes shorter though (some of the scenes just dragged on, but I guess that's Kubrick though), and that would have helped it IMO.
Yeah Kubrick tends to do that sometimes. I would think that ACO is usually the more easily liked film.

Yeah, part of me was worried about that, but I found that in a movie like 2001, where there can be so much interpretation, it actually did help. After watching it, I think I would have come to a conclusion similar to that flash video that explained it, but still, having seen that definitely didn't take anything away from me upon viewing it. I still enjoyed it a lot and thought it was great. Even the two parts I FFWD'd through weren't necessarily "boring" to me, more than I just didn't need to stare at a blank screen listening to faint music for three minutes or watch a kaleidoscope on-screen for several minutes.
