It is to this day studied for it pioneering visual fx, and the science of the film is extraordinary, given that LBJ was still president when production on the movie began. The film was released a year before the real-life lunar landing, so these guys were basically guided by their own vision along with some expert scientific advice and prospective research.

I first saw it in a Boston theater on sort of a whim to kill some time, and knew very little about it in advance. I came out of that theater into bright sunlight totally shaken and feeling transformed. To this day I often play <i>Thus Sprak Zarathustra</i> way up loud and "entertain" my family by acting out the monkeys' movements. Perhaps the nearest thing to a religious experience, along with the Tuba Miram from Verdi's Requiem, that I've experienced. Ahhh, but it's all just an excess of certain brain chemicals hitting hard some of my synapses..... ;-) Yes! 2001 blew my mind too!
