Both masterpieces.

To each his own. If you have the patience/capacity to understand Kubrick and assess elements of a film and the filmmaking process, symbolism, etc, and not just storyline- it's actually nothing short of brilliant
Also, you having seen it for the "first time in years" at the age of 15 doesn't really have your brain in a fully developed stage at the first time you viewed it, so give it a few years and come back to it. A course in film study will improve the experience greatly; I say this from experience of my own.

I've already done film study at school, but can't do it anymore because it got cancelled
And No, I don't think my opinon of this film will change. As you can probably already tell, I think 2001: A Space Odyssey is one of the most overrated films of all time. (Although the only person in the house who liked it was my father. This is because he read the books and saw 2010: The Year We Make Contact) Each scene was overlong and uninteresting(talk about patience!)
I have to say it was directed well, looked stunning and was very innovative, but you need a good story to go with those visuals.
