I love this movie and don't smoke. Another movie in this vein that I love is The Fountain.

Most of Kubrick's films have a reasonably "surface level" story going on, along with the more cerebral stuff (FMJ and ACO). 2001 is almost all cerebral, and doesn't hold the interest of people who are looking for something else, like the others.
Frenchy, there's two ways people interpret Kubrick : one really enjoy the shit out of them because of the technical aspect and whatnot, and others find it to be bullshit and pointless
If you know the book, the movie is great. If you don't know the book, there are a lot of WTF moments. Similar to David Lynch's Dune.I thought this was the worst movie I've ever watched.

I'm not a film fanatic or any sort of purist in the usual sense, but I can tell this is a movie that one should look at like a highly impressionistic painting. If you only look at what happens on the screen and try to put it together in the everyday-Hollywood way...doesn't make any sense at all.
