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.
