The dawn of man is good, the whole HAL thing was very good but the film overall was too far up its own arse for me to consider it a great film. I can understand why the style and feel of the film appeals to some and not others, but its not for me.

Consider that this film was made in 1969, when sci-fi was generally restricted to low-budget productions - yet the film still looks unique and awe-inspiring today.
2001 should provoke your contemplation of its many challenging scenes, as you ponder Kubrick and Clarke's facts of the birth of mankind and their theories about where we are heading.
Are such startling visions and ideas destined to be reduced to being "anal" in the minds of those who consider the biggest questions with nothing less than contempt?
