I have not seen the movie for several years now and it has been even longer since I read the book so I am working with fairly old brain cells here.
In fact I think both were written at the same time and there was some amount of corporation between them. The book of course has more details and it does do a better job explaining why the part with the monkeys and the moon was so important. If you take the monkey and moon part out it is just a movie about. I do think the movie did an overall poor job of explaining the monoliths and what they were doing.
The part I thought was boring was the entire space station and shuttle section. It felt like it took twenty minuets for that stewardess to walk around that tube in velcro shoes.

I agree that they did a pretty horrible job explaining the monoliths. Even though I had ideas about what the movie was about I had to find supplementary material to really get it. I shouldn't have had to.

You do understand the beginning of the movie and why it was necessary, yes? *NM*

I liked the beginning well enough. The ending, not so much.

The transition you mentioned is one of the best ever put to film

The part where he keeps seeing himself getting older was really cool.
