Why, by going to the Badmovies.org website of course!:

It must be pure hell to be Mothra and have to lay an egg that large:

Sort of the Kiwi bird of the Japanese monster world.
Meanwhile, back about "Moon"... which seems more likely? One guy stuck in a
helium 3 mining outpost on the far side of the Moon, or one guy getting sucked
down the inside of a giant monolith in Jupiter orbit, and then... oh man, it
is such a trip! You just _have_ to drop acid before you see it! :-)

Oh the colors!

The best scene for that was when the entire screen flashed
day-glo red....on and off ...with each time a new warning blasting
COMPUTER MALFUNCTION.....LIFE FUNCTIONS CRITICAL
and then LIFE FUNCTIONS TERMINATED.

Exploding on-and-off like a spotlight burning into your brain.

But I just recently bought my first big screen HDTV, and ya know, until
then I'd never seen 2001 with any kind of quality picture or sound.
But comcast on demand has a HD version with almost perfect sound
and picture. So I just watched it again for the first time in quite a while
and it was great, even by today's standards imho.

I'd forgotten how much the soundtrack made the picture work.
The movie works with only the sound, and the sparse dialogue
makes it works with only the picture. That's unique!
Together the two are hypnotizing and at times spectacular.

What big budget sci-fi movie today would spend almost a half hour
listening to classical music while only a few spacecraft drift around, and
someone eating dinner? Just to give the audience a sense of really
being there? What big budget sci-fi would leave the ending so
chaotic and uncertain?
