well the effects in 2001 are nothing compared to what can be done today, so this has to be seen in context.
however it is still a kick ass movie but it takes a certain state of mind to enjoy its aesthetics. i will confess to falling asleep the first time i saw it, and i would fall asleep again perhaps, but i've also really enjoyed it. however i have other kubrick movies i prefer.
for its time however it was quite an achievement.
