Be warned, it's almost three hours long. Frownland would kill me for saying this, but don't be ashamed if you feel the need to fast forward every now and then.

The real crime is the pretension surrounding the film. If fast forwarding helps someone to watch and get involved with the picture, then I think even Kubrick himself would say "Go for it". After all, the extra depth is still there for those willing to look for and enjoy it.

I personally found that the depth of the movie was redundant and incredibly unnecessary, and I really do believe that the movie would have benefited from being shortened (as well as having more dialogue and characterization). That doesn't mean that I was unwilling to enjoy it, because I really did give it a fair shot during each scene to have a purpose before I skipped it. Some people don't need or want ten minutes to come to a conclusion about what the director was trying to say with a scene; it only takes us a moment, and dwelling any longer is just not for us. It's just as unreasonable for you to expect me to like incredibly long shots of one action taking place, as it is for me to expect you to like movies where every scene seems to superficially flash by in an instant (ala Michael Bay).

Anyone else thinks that the special effects in the monkey scenes have aged worse than the SFX in the others? Obviously they did a great job, but the space scenes just come off as more convincing, even nowadays.

Definitely. The models and sets throughout the movie are downright gorgeous at times, but the monkey suits didn't impress me at all.
