I know that’s contentious (the number of people I know personally who say they love and highly rate the film I can count on one hand and have fingers left to spare), but I hold that it is true and, on the whole, both critics and ‘Top Ten’ type lists tend to agree (give or take a superlative or two). That said, the Stanley Kubrick movie of 2001 was, without a shadow of doubt, one of the greatest movies of any genre. Compared with Asimov (and Clarke so often was) and Anne McCaffrey, I really didn’t find Clarke so interesting. Even in my youth, when I devoured classic sci-fi while other kids my age were discovering their dad’s not-so-secret stash of porn magazines, I was reading things like ‘Rendezvous with Rama’, ‘Imperial Earth’ and ‘Childhood’s End’ and really not so impressed, to be honest.
