The movie effects still stand up some 40 years later. This is probably the seminal film for science fiction in motion pictures.
Agreed. I was amazed watching it now, in 2010, at how great the SFX were in a movie that is 42 years old. Also, I was reading about it, and it's awesome how much Kubrick and his team stayed true to actual science and realism in that regard.

Kubrick and Clarke worked very closely for at least a year on adapting the novel as best as possible. With all movies there were some changes, like instead of Jupiter being the target planet for "the signal" in the novel it was Saturn. The silence of space is deafening, and is used to stunning effect in the movie. Only human breath is heard in most of the shots outside the Discovery, highlighting man's isolation in the most dangerous of all frontiers.
