OT: I very much like Clarke's early books (anything before the 1980s, as most of his later sequels are incredibly poor stories). But I will agree with fyo that 2001 the film is very badly paced. Regardless of the intellect in the film, there are stretches of plotless, actionless, unnecessarily long sequences, like the eighty minute kaleidoscope scene at the end. :p The book was loads better than the movie. The movie retained much of the strong plot of the book, but overly confused its ending and happened to be about four times slower than it should have been.     -JC PS: If you reply, do so in the unmod thread if you can ... I'm in a rush so didn't have the opportunity to move the topic. :)
