The red "Djinn chairs"!!!!!

Great timing in more than one way too.
The initial spacecraft that we see (after the match cut) are really weapons platforms. *That* was also in the news this week.
So four million years of evolution has resulted in .... well humans haven't changed much!

Agreed. From reading "Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clark And The Making of a Masterpiece" (Michael Benson, 2018) it involved months of trial and error to get it right.
