First of all, I'd like to say that DAMN you're old!

The ending was confusing, but that was incidental.
I've read all the books. The problem that I see with the movie is that a lot of it was about the cold reality of space travel... boredom. When you first saw that movie last century, did you find those parts boring?

PS - They really should make a movie for the third book.

Tom Hanks was supposed to have worked on getting a project together but it fell through I think. 3001 sure has the ingredients for a popular film - genetically engineered dinosaurs, Cyborg, and all sorts of techy stuff. You think people would go nuts for it.
Except for one thing. The idea of a thousand year old astronaut floating around in space being reanimated is a little... far fetched.
