I watched the movie not long before reading the book and I really enjoyed it. Yet, now that I've read the book a lot is explained more fully - as a result I appreciate the movie much more so. They kind of go together hand-in-hand.
Though I don't much care for the evolutionary theories in it, I reveled in the scientific aspects. HAL 9000 is just as creepily human yet cold as he is in the movie - perhaps even more so. Very well written, and I can't wait to explore space some more in the continuing odysseys.
