I'm not sure if the fairly recent DVD re-issue was subject to any CGI twiddling - probably not, though with Kubrick no longer around the screen was probably tidied up with some of the old ultra-remastering.
Nevertheless, the special effects are fundamentally awesome - so clearly inspirational to today's science-fiction. And when the brilliantly provocative music isn't blaring, the silence of space really gives a sense of wonder and... size: of the spaceships, of space, and of the big question.
Possibly the only thing that could make 2001 even more a mysterious, ahead-of-its-time masterpiece would be if it was created a few years earlier - in black & white....
