Not terribly exciting and I wonder if it was just the style of film making back then?

Love the opening scene in Space Balls where they make fun of it.
2001 was released in 1968. The spacecraft scenes were very groundbreaking for that time.

The ships were also scientifically plausible unlike most Sci-Fi movies.
