I just finished watching 2001 actually (in glorious HD). The last half hour was a real headfuck.

I take it you've read the books? How are they?

There are 4 books, 2001, 2011, 2061, and 3001. The movie stays fairly true to the books, and you can expect the same. But the ending. Jesus.

The movie's ending, if translated back to text, would be incomprehensible.

Is 2010 the book enjoyable?

>> No.2005957

Yes, 2010 is very enjoyable. I heard a radio piece about how it was written and got very interested. Kubrick and Clarke worked together and wrote the movie and the book simultaneously. Sometimes the text would be written from what Kubrick had filmed and sometimes vice versa. It seemed like such a crazy way to write, and the two of them (both with reps for being difficult) must have worked very well together. I found that I understood parts of the movie much more after reading the book.
Next I read 2012, also good, and forced myself through the strange 2061. Couldn't bring myself to ruin it any more so i didn't read 3001, which I heard was awful. But I highly recommend reading the book and seeing the movie either just before during or after.
