Thanks to a film festival running at my local theatre I saw this last night. I think it was the first time i'd actually sat through the whole thing. My problem is this:

Exactly what is it about?

Or more specifically the last twenty minutes.

Im assuming its all to do with the evolution of man, or something like that. I get the significance of the Black Monilith giving the chimps/early man the thought of using weapons (A really significant moment in human history) and uncovering the one on the moon activated the message relay to Jupiter.

I am assuming that whoever put the Monoliths there are testing mankind to see how far we have come, and that this was the point of the Jupiter mission. Did we pass the test?

I may be barking up the wrong tree completely. Can anyone shed any light on this, has anyone got a definitive explanation, or do you have your own theories?

Saying that I did quite enjoy it, I just left slightly confused.
