2001 was intentionally slow to make you feel how boring space travel is. It's a clever idea but it's a movie for a much slower paced world with fewer options for things to do.

Probably. The same trick of deliberately boring the viewer for creating a sense of immersion had been used 19 years before, in the (excellent) film 'Stray dog'.
