    Did you see this film (I haven't?) If so, what did you think of it?

    I enjoyed the movie and the book. Some people (like Rock Hudson) think it's an incomprehensible mess but it's really not that complicated.

    I don't know how many times I have checked this movie out from the library but I have NEVER finished it, I can never seem to get past the half hour mark.

    I saw this in theater in 1969 and was quite impressed. Got to remember it was cutting edges FX in those days and it was predicting what we considered a very possible near future. Loved the Pan Am space craft (Who knew Pan Am wouldn't make it to the 21st Century). HAL (IBM) was the major player that impressed me.

    I too was taken aback when it opened on proto-humans in antiquity, but quickly saw the monolith as a constant in our development. The pretty colors in the ending were impressive in '69 but now FF on DVD. Oh, I was not yet into drugs so I saw it str8. In fact I was such a str8 nerd I took a date to that movie - don't think I ever saw the girl again. big grin

    I didn't really care for the cryptic ending with the space floating fetus (I know the analogy to rebirth, but kinda doesn't work for me). What did work was when Bowman kept ageing exponentially with each scene change. I feel that sometimes.
