I can’t believe I saw the same movie as everyone else.

Other than “The Andromeda Strain”, I thought “2001” was the most over rated movie ever.

What...you didn't understand the profundity of apes dancing around a humming monolith?

"Mad" magazine did a parody on this flick entitled "2001: A Space Idiocy."

I related more to that.

The Andromeda Strain was over-rated? I was around then and do not remember it being over-rated. It was a good movie and based on a very good story by a young and talented author. So it was a challenge to match the book.

Actually, it seems an enduring story what with the ebola/entero virus issues. Ok I admit I am biased for the movie - I think it is very good.
