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.

This is true, there aren't many films with the look and feel of 2001.

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.

This is where we differ. This film clearly spoke to you and inspired you in some ways (hope Im not being presumptuous?). I just didn't get that, it didn't do anything like that for me. I felt the message of mans elevation to something higher was a bit pretentious.
It probably doesn't help that I am a cynical bastard at times! :)
