If ever there was a movie you should watch without stopping 30 minutes in to post on a message board...
anyway, hope you liked it, a "monumental" cinematic achievement.
I watched it two weeks ago for probably the 6th time, but first time in close to 20 years. Hadn't lost any of it's impact.

I liked it. You should also check out the Sequel " 2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT" which stars Roy Scheider, Helen Mirren, John Lithgow, and Keir Dullea. It is Pretty Good!   |

The Monoliths are are tools of advanced aliens. They can perform tasks such as give the alpha hominid the idea of using the bone as a tool/weapon. One is later buried on the moon to act as an alarm to let the aliens know we've achieved space travel. The one near Jupiter acts as a Stargate to another galaxy.
I think of Kubrick's film as a painting. It doesn't tell the whole story because Kubrick was telling it mostly through imagery. Clarke's book helps spell out the details. As I recall, it's a quick and easy read. Each chapter is only a couple of pages long. After reading the book I watched the film again and it made a difference.
2010 is more of a traditional film which tells the story. I second Anthony's suggestion that you watch it next. HAL is also in it.

HAL is also in it. Kubrik left it ambiguous intentionally, so eg you can interpret the "intelligence" that transforms Dave into the Starchild either as aliens, God or evolution.
I like that approach better than having it all spelled out.

A+ ...my #17 all time.
Each viewing remains a new experience unto itself.
