Hmmm I guess you got me there. The effects don't have to be wobbly just
dated to be a bit unconvincing. I find the final sesquence a bit that
way. Nevertheless "2001" has remarkable staying power. Wouldn't expect
anything less from Kubrick. Did I mention he's my all time top movie man?

I still think the use of sets, costumes, and effects is distinctive
within the genre. Certain plots and themes also recur.
