I still show the scene where Dave enters the ship without his space helmet in class. It is brilliant. (I don't have to say that not taking his helmet is one of the stupidest things I can imagine. No sane astronaut would consider such a thing.) Since 1968, when 2001 was made, there has never been a scene that shows better the effect of being in vacuum for a short time.
So why has basic Physics being ignored so badly in film, where the film makers must know better?
Unquestionably the best sci fi film of its time. The station docking sequence is spot on.
I can't deal with Star Wars at all, but a huge fan of Star Trek (at least post the original series) simply for the brilliance of the writers. The remakes? Nup.
