The film was incredibly controversial then and the arguments were pretty much the same as now, except the drug references have faded over the years. I would say a 50/50 split is probably better now than then. I would say it was more like 40/60 for/against back then.I've seen both the 165 and the 140 minute versions. The longer version contains lots of interesting details, especially on the space station, but little that advances the film. The cut minutes aren't really missed, although I must admit that I sure noticed the second time I saw the film - some months later.
I would reckon I have seen the film at least 25 times. Back in those days I was known to ingest certain "substances" which may have slightly altered perception, and "2001" was the ultimate "stoner flick." Psychedelic without meaning to be. OR WAS IT?
It is on my top-10 films of all time list. For what that's worth.
