I know it set some sifi benchmarks and introduced ideas , concepts when it was released . But is it worth watching now as we have more films better or not with same concepts ? Does it still hold up ? Does it have any plot holes ? Is the story good ? How is the pacing ? What about the characters are they fleshed out ? All in all a spoiler free review or the answer to these questions will be appreciated .

EDIT : How does the sequels hold up and can 2001 stand alone ?

Look I'll just say that I hadn't seen it until just about a year ago, had been spoiled of most of the plot and many iconic scenes, and it still became possibly my favorite movie of all time.

That movie has held up unthinkably well in every regard, even the effects are still superb. It's a masterpiece and you very much should watch it.
