When the astronauts on the moon are shown walking toward the unearthed sentinel, they are walking normally, as if on earth. The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of earth; hence, they should have appeared to "bounce" a bit when walking, as was seen in the later Apollo moon landings.It's entirely possible that the "moon-walk bounce" may be required for any and all walking on the Moon. However, the principle reason for the bounce was the rigidity of the suits when pressurized which did not allow the astronauts to bend their knees sufficiently to take a more nature step. They quickly found that the "lope" they used was quite efficient and comfortable. The suits shown on 2001 were quite different and may have allowed the astronauts a more natural gait.
