Agreed. And I like the 2010 low budget movie (and the book) better than 2001. I'm pretty sure that this is sacrilege, but I don't care. At least the story makes sense and goes somewhere.

I personally blame it on the fact that 2001 was based on a short story and Kubrick filled the empty space with tiresome artsy space scenes.

Even the movie tie-in book (which I think was written by Arthur C Clark - the writer of the original short story) was dry and boring as hell. In fact I consider it worse to read than the movie is to watch.

In comparison, Arthur C Clark had a full novel's-worth of story in 2010. It was not the biggest novel ever, not even the size of 3001 (I haven't read 2061, but I did read 3001), but it had a far better story to it than 2001. So did 3001 as well.

Personally? I liked the movie of 2010 better. It didn't have Kubrick's stupid pretensions of artsiness, and there were more characters actually having conversations with each other.

...And I think ACC's name should be spelt Clarke.
