I saw this movie before I read the book and I wish I had not, the book is 10 times better than the movie in that you get more into the mind of the characters. When the movie was first shown in the local theater in 1968 it was very misunderstood and many left the theatre wondering what was going on however Stanley Kubrick brought out the best in Arthur C. Clarke when they worked together to make the movie. The way Clarke brings space to life in this story was years ahead of it's time. You have to remember that prior to 1969 only a hand full of humans had ever even been in space, let alone established colonies or built ships large enough for anyone to live in. 2001 is one of the best space stories ever written and I highly recommend all Sci-Fi fans to add this one to their collection.
Wonderful! Great price, much higher quality than anticipated, shipped immediately, overall just a very good experience.
