“Close to tears, he left at the intermission”: how Stanley Kubrick upset Arthur C Clarke"

By MICHAEL MOORCOCK

"Inspiring governments to invest in space exploration and schoolboys to become astronauts, 2001convinced the general public that science fiction could be taken seriously. Until Star Wars sent the genre back to an ­essentially juvenile form, the movie led to a greater understanding of the valuable creative possibilities of all kinds of science fiction. There would not be a more influential film until Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, with its sober moral resonances. It also proved to Hollywood that good, big-budget SF movies could be money-spinners and garner critical respect at the same time. Without 2001 it is unlikely the genre would have progressed to its current state." Quote from New Statesmen article:
