I read the book in high school and loved it.

I saw the movie afterwards, with all the acclaim it had.

Long hard movie to sit through.

2010 was an easier movie, though I didn't find the story near as interesting.

I wish someone would do a big budget movie of Rendezvous With Rama.

Long hard movie to sit through.

Speaking of "sitting through" 2010 in the theater, I saw it when I was 17, totally wasted on hash. When it got time for the "Star Gate" sequence, I almost fell off the theater seat. I thought I was on the walls or on the ceiling.
