      Sorry, I’m an English teacher: “If ‘2001’ had been created today, it would still be ahead of its time” OR: “It would still have been ahead of its time if ‘2001’ had been crafted created today” (inverted word order). For conditional sentences, the modal verb - would, could, should, shall, ought to, and their negations, etc. - can only be used once, except in complex and compound sentences, and can only be used as part of the result of the condition (i.e., not in the condition itself).

      I saw it first as a student and knew nothing about the movie, other than it was a famous scifi movie. In the display window outside the cinema were just a few pictures of space ships, so when I sat down and saw what looked like a nature documentary I actually thought I was in the wrong movie. Something made me stay though and though, at the time, I missed most of what it was actually about, I was transfixed and spellbound and it was one of the seminal movies that forever changed the way I experienced cinema.

    I remember my dad taking me to the cinema to watch the re-release of 2001 also but i'm two years older than Nolan. Maybe the re-release had a longer run in the UK..... Born in '72. Remember the pause in the middle with the ghostly / space age music playing during the interval and getting a plastic triangle like shaped drink with foil lid and a straw called KIA-ORA. I remember people around me saying that it was a boring film. 2001 A Space Odyssey..... blew my mind.... as a young child in the 70's I shouldn't have been allowed into the screening. Thank heaven I did. For whatever reason my father let his son into the cinema... 2001 A Space Odyssey opened my young mind for the better. OH By the way ..... I, deep in my heart/soul, love 2001 A Space Odyssey.

There is a theory that QT chose an actor the image of young Kubrick as some sort of homage since Kubrick never got to make his planned movie about WW2, Aryan Papers. Not so much, fair enough.

      Inspired, certainly, but that's about where a comparison stops, the two movies have very little in common other that they both involve a journey through space, but in the end Nolan's movie is a very human love story and not at all about man's place in the universe or anything that grand.

    First time I watched 2001 I was probably in undergrad trying to catch up on 20th century cinema. It’s the type of movie that I enjoyed but didn’t get and wasn’t blown away necessarily, but I enjoyed it.
    Then six months or a year later, you hear a piece of the soundtrack and decide to give it another viewing. This time you catch a few more things and you repeat this cycle for 20 years until you just admit it’s an amazing film or you wouldn’t keep watching it.

    Very interesting indeed to hear Nolan's take on 2001. As a matter of interest, I think that the moment where the pod begins to turn towards Frank Poole and unfold its waldos is one of cinema's most fear-inducing and disturbing scenes ever made.
    The horror is in its subtlety because although we don't see the pod strike Frank, we witness the gut-wrenching aftermath as he struggles unsuccessfully to reconnect his suit's air hose while being propelled into the void.

      @Death Is A Doorway If the film maker has intentions for the film, then that is what the film is about. 2001 is clearly not a celebration of technology and Kubrick went out of his way to say as much, though in a coded way. Whether you want to dig deep and find those intentions, that's up to you, but the film is not just what the viewer finds. That just sounds a tad lazy to me,especially when dealing with Kubrick. That's not to say there aren't films that encourage the sort of audience participation you are speaking about, but Kubrick's films are often conceptual puzzles and his idea of audience participation was not having them come to their own conclusions, it was to encourage the audience look closer at films and discover what he was saying in them.

    I saw 2001 in a theater as a kid. I didn't understand it. That being said it is not a kid's film. So I watched it as a adult and was trying to figure out what I saw. Years and many viewings later I finally grasped the meaning. Everyone is going to have their own interpretation of everything they see and hear. That much I know. Some films take several viewings just like listening to music. Some albums I didn't like until several times of hearing them. I like philosophical films because they make you think outside the box.

    Nolan and Kubrick have similar styles. I think Nolan is the most direct heir to that style of filmmaking. They both have done extremely large, but extremely personal films. Nolan's films connect with you on a similar emotional level, particularly something like Momento.

I did then and still find the death scenes where HAL kills Frank Pool and the 3 astronauts who were in hibernation disturbing and haunting. That's kind of where the movie took a turn for the worse for me.

    The greatest movie ever made. Kubrick did not compromise with the audience. But I was very disappointed by the sequel 2010 which I did not see until 1988. Mr. Clarke should have waited until 1993-1994 and then had Steven Speilberg do 2010 ( filmed @ the Film Polski studios in Warsaw with some of the same actors who did Schindler's List ( Polish actors playing Russians) and Ralph Fiennes playing David Bowman with Kevin Kline playing Heywood Floyd....(In fact, Steven Spielberg asked Kevin Kline (Cry Freedom, The English Patient) to play Schindler but Kline said no.) Speilberg was already experienced in science fiction film for doing Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, and ET The Extraterrestrial. Those 2 last films I enjoyed and recommend. (PS: In the alternate world of 2001: In 1968, Kubrick & Clarke would have released Childhoods End by MGM,--the sci. fi. film, with Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood etc. In 2002 on the Discovery One mission. Bowman & Poole would watch Schindler's List....)

    What Christopher Nolan is far too humble to point out is how he subverted the antisepsis of Kubrick's humans in 2001-making HAL and his neuroses the most human character-in "Interstellar," where the humans, no matter how cerebral, continue to have fully human motivations: to lie in order to be rescued; to love in order to be fulfilled.

I'm not holding that against him and I do believe that 2001 still is the greatest scifi movie ever made and will unlikely be dethroned of that position, but Kubrick's mind is very sharp and analytical, that's why, in my minority opinion, he utterly failed with The Shining as that story is do deeply human and emotional, he is utterly out of his depth.

      @@carefulviewer-9887 Hmmm, I'm not convinced, talking with his little girl at her birthday, sure, it was a cute scene, but far from "very emotional", but I guess that's just my take, hard to argue the depth of emotion displayed, I think Kubrick more wanted to show what Space-to-Earth communication would look like. As far as emotion goes, even when Hal kills all the crew members except Floyd, it's far from emotional, you don't build up a connection as a viewer to the victims, so on an emotional level it doesn't look to affect you. The only emotion is when Floyd wants to get back on board, which is suspenseful.
      Ironically, the most emotional sequence is when Floyd proceeds to shut down Hal, where you feel sorry for the AI, as if Floyd is actually killing a real life form, underlined with the AI's pleas to Floyd, even though the AI of course basically killed off an entire human crew. I think that was rather tongue-in-cheek of Kubrick's if that irony was intentional.

      I think that was down to Clarke secretly knowing Kubrick would have more in mind than a mere story about men going into space. He was right too. Clarke's story was a start point for the film, but as with every movie after that, he expanded on the source material he used, often to the rancor of the author. It is ironic that Stephen King, who famously hated Kubrick's version of The Shining then bases Dr Sleep on the film version, not his version!

      @@davidlean1060 That was the directors decision, Mike Flanagan. When he first talked to King about it, King actually had one specification and that was it had to be based on the book not the movie. Flanagan ended up convincing King to allow him to do it. Also, King doesn't hate Kubrick, he just dislikes the Shining movie. One reason I think is because the Shining book is so heavily based on King's alcoholism that Jack Torrence shares within the book and at the end of the book there is some form of redemption for him, which King might have wanted because at the time he was an alcoholic and very much would have wanted a redemption with his family. The movie adaption scraps this and just makes Jack Torrence crazy with no redemption. I can imagine that might have felt pretty bad. Generally, King has a pretty leanient view on adaptations, I just think the Shining was very personal.

Interstellar unsurprisingly then remains my favourite, followed by The Dark Night, Memento and Following.
      But a Kubrick he will never be and why would he, he just needs to be the best Chris Nolan he can be, the best Kubrick we already had.
