Especially considering the era and what they had to work with. It is brilliant. My only problem with it is that is was/is SO SLOW moving.. literally. It is a masterpiece and will never be beat for sure!
Nobody predicted AI better than this movie for it's time! Just like Hal 9000 the current "Chat" engines are coded with bias and thus gives you a "tainted" responses based on it's original programming. I use Gemini on my phone ONLY for basic things like weather and other "basic" questions. I would NEVER solely rely on these LLM's for anything serious or vital to my life!
It's absolutely amazing how well this movie stands up after so many decades. Truly a testament to Stanley and his vision. Your version is stunning to behold.
Anyone who says this movie is boring betrays their lack of intelligence and sparse visual learning skills. 2001 is a visual feast, rich in detail with vast cosmic concepts.
the movie is slow ... but not boring! Kubrick style of story telling was always slow in all of his movies ... he was, after all, an autistic person ... and a genius one at that ... in short, can you show me a genius who was 'normal' to begin with!? or rather, lets define "normal" again please ... 🙂
With cleverly back-projected images mimicking flat screen computer graphics and the beautifully built and presented sets, everything about the ship's interior looked impressively futuristic and genuine... and still does. Then 16 years later, along came the sequel _2010: The Year We Make Contact_ wherein bulbous CRT monitors with crappy graphics replaced Discovery One's flat screens and where one could actually see glossy paint strokes on some of the (obviously plywood) walls and consoles. Ironic that High-Definition blemish-revealing presentations clearly illustrate the superior production standard of a 1968 film over its 1984 sequel and with 1/3 the budget.
Without a doubt one of the greatest music ambiance to describe the vastness and loneliness of the Space and the insignificant place of a spaceship and mankind within it ...
In 1968, all I wanted for my 11th birthday was to see this movie. My parents drove 20 miles so we could see it in 70mm. My Dad and I were in awe. I think Mom wished she stayed home. I'm still in awe.
I have seen 2001 in the age of 14 on the threshold of adulthood, and after this film I thought which grandios future may I expect? And now, 50 years later, where we are now?
What an amazing movie this is. Kubrick’s mastery of his craft was absolute. Images of the sterile environment aboard the Discovery One combined with the juxtaposition of unexpected musical choices creates a sense of isolation that is just as chilling now as it was five and a half decades ago.
There are 4 science fiction movies that stand out in my list: 1 Forbidden Planet 2. 2001 3. Alien 4. Blade runner. All for different reasons. Forbidden Planet has inspired so many others, Alien combines horror and scifi, Blade Runner brought noir and has a great story. But for its cinematography and introduction to the 21st century 2001 showed everyone the way.... not so much the confusing narrative but the world it created.
@@macguru9999 In ALIEN, Ridley Scott made the Nostromo interior the polar opposite of that of Discovery. Dark, dank, noisy, internal plumbing and wiring exposed, inoperative equipment, and sometimes difficult to move around in.
I too was one who saw the original release in 1968. I was 13 and it absolutely blew me away! I went out and purchased the novel to get some more detail, especially on the ending! My favorite film of all time! Can't thank you enough for the posts. God bless you and yours always and thanks again for all you do! 👍
Wow that must have been an incredible experience! And one, no doubt, that still hasn't been matched. I must admit I am incredibly jealous. The first time I watched 2001 was mind blowing - and it wasn't even at the cinema - it was an old VHS copy, with each subsequent home release I've enjoyed it ever more - one day I hope to see it at the cinema. Fingers crossed for a re-release!
All these years later and this film STILL looks 100 years ahead of its time It’s a shame Stanley Kubrick never sat for any in depth interviews about his work or did a DVD commentary track
@@toomanyhobbies2011 Yeah, but about the concepts and so on, he wanted people to figure it out for themselves, not spell it out for them. After all, they might even come up with something new that he didn't even think of. All that potential would be spoiled if he just outright said "this is what it all means"...
Hmm, to me that's more like when the rubber band of tension finally snaps. The real horror is in the whole lead-up to that scene, starting with the prediction of the communications dish failure. things like when they from earth say their twin 9000 computer said that HAL was in error predicting the fault, and then their discussion about what to do about it and so on...
Although massive advances have been made in CGI et al. in the decades since 2001, the astonishing realism and artistry of Kubrick and his colleagues is unsurpassed. The rapturous combination of visuals and music creates a mood both mesmerizing and unsettling. A masterpiece of movie- making!
Right. And, today, with all the "built in" digital effects, there isn't much "craft" to them. Given how all of that is now so much easier, one WOULD think that there'd be more time and effort to put into, well, the story and the script. Apparently not.
Chill! 2001: A Space Oddysey it's one of my favorite movies, what an exact recreation of the Discovery 1 interior, it feels like being inside the ship or visiting the movie set, the use of Khachaturian's Adagio from Gayaneh and Györgi Ligeti's Lux Aterna from the movie soundtrack gives it a special touch, very beautiful, relaxing and meditative.
A cold and somewhat scary voyage on a cold and somewhat scary spaceship. Relentless minor key strings. The spaceship itself composed of Head and Spinal Cord. HALs unblinking killer eye. Mummified corpses. Clean, Cold and Creepy!!
Imagine my surprise when I got the UA-cam notification from The Hal Project that I have been given full access to the Discovery One! Thank you! I am so grateful for this generous gift! It really feels that I have finally "moved into" this vessel and journeying my own Odyssey! With full A.I. management from HAL, The living is easy! What could go wrong!
I went to see this when it was on general release, when the movie ended no one stirred all sat there in what i can only describe as stunned silence perhaps not comprehending what they had just seen, many years later i took my eldest son to see the move as it was doing the rounds again, the same thing happened. Look at that flight director its what we use now the movie was years ahead of the times.
You really must read the book by Arthur C. Clarke to understand the story. If you were an advanced 'race' how would you help early man to survive?. Then monitor from our nearest neighbour - the moon, hidden under the surface. Man reaches the moon, uncovers the Monolith, before being sent on the next part of the journey. Man has reached that point and travels through 'Time & Space Dimensions, Reaching an memory illusion, Man then passes on, being reborn - as a Star Child of the advanced race. I met Clarke, the First Citizen of the Universe, in Sri Lanka, communication was his point in this story. Clarke was trying to tell us the Moon has not always been in orbit around our Earth. When you read the book - read between the lines......... .
I saw it in 1977 when it came to Washington for another time, and my parents and I were weeping at we were seeing. I am convinced that 2001: A Space Odyssey is the greatest movie ever made. It was made outside London @ the MGM Studios. Had the MGM Studios been located outside Paris France, it would still be the greatest movie ever made. But Mr. Clarke's book : The lost worlds of 2001 would have had different locations in one chapter. " Drove with Roger Caras to a zoo near Nuneaton would have read 'Drove with Roger Caras to a zoo at Rouen in Normandy." BTW the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey inspired me to do Space Exploration merit badge as a boy scout. In 1977 I was a boy scout of 1st Class rank. I am now an Eagle Scout.
In a word, FANTASTIC! The front shot as it approaches is my favorite scene . I was so hooked on this film that from 1968 until they stopped showing it in theaters I watched it. totaling 23imes. The practicality of the movie was astounding.
Fantastic! I was convinced I was seeing the Discovery after Bowman abandoned it, until I saw all three EVA Pods in the bay ... HAL is still "alive"! Thrill
My dad took me to see the film when I was 13, 48 years ago. It stunned me then and has never left me since. A few years ago I was lucky enough to visit the Kubrick exhibition in London and see many of the actual props from the film - some of which I recognise from this film. Who knew that the 'eye' of Hal 9000 was a Nikon camera lens? Very impressive recreation.
Music (Gayane ballet) plus Discovery's ambient sounds. Beautiful I can't explain it and don't even care to try. It just resonates with me. From the comments; its wonderful to share this connection with all of you.
I saw this the cinema as a young lad, the whole thing was an amazing experience. Didn't understand half of it and have rewatched it many times, the visuals are for the day spectacular and even stand up to todays cgi. And as modern film makers have now realised the music score is as important as the film itself...
Still after all these years, the sfx, the photography still hold# up as well as any modern cgi generated stuff. Just goes to show how much of a genius the director and lighting cameraman were.
I was barely 1 year old when this masterful film was made (1968)!! Kubrick's eye for perfect detail made this film stand up to the passage of time very well..It is very sad we don't have spaceships like this for real exploring our Solar System. He made it look real!! A deep and thought filled film. In 2068 it will doubt still look amazing!!
This is the #1 movie in the SF. This video recreated in me the first time I saw this scene into the cinema... FANTASTIC !!! I have to admit that I've had short "jump" on my chair when I've seen the Pod's door suddenly open and... nobody was inside... only Hal's eye... congratulations on this idea!
My favorite musical piece from the film, really! Neat, now I have a digital copy err that I can access online here anytime, that's great! And with 4K ambiance, too!
My God... That's wonderful! And reminds one of how good the musical score is. The film is great, in part, because the dialog is so sparse, that the viewer's imagination is given greater license. That movie may still be a singularity.
Our family went to see this when it came out I was totally freaked ! There had never been a space movie that realistically done! And then there was HAL! It’s my all time favorite for as long as I live space film! We have a 3 season room that we close up in the winter and it’s named DISCOVERY ! ❤️👍🙋♂️🖖🏻
Haha that is awesome! There really is no other film like it, even recent films fail to capture the true nature of space - it's all gone a bit too action focused - we need more sedate, slow paced sci-fi that catapults the audience into the realism of space travel (which is likely a mix of wonder & boredom!)
Kubricks use of the flat computer screen in 1968 was incredibly groundbreaking. IT was the closest realistic movie to not so near future - ever / No one was close until many years later
The Discovery filming model was 50 feet long. When it was finished the builders showed it to Stanley Kramer and he didn't like it and wanted changes, the builders put a dust blanket over it and it sat until filming. It was filmed with no changes and Kramer loved it.
This video is incredible and I’m very grateful to the person who created it and posted it on UA-cam. I hope, though, that this is primarily the creation of the poster and not shots from the film. I have a very specific reason for saying that. I say it because, in one of the six blue rectangles on the black panel above the head of one of the hibernating astronauts, there is the word “hyperthalamus.” Human beings have a hypothalamus, not a “hyperthalamus,” and it would be nice to know that Stanley Kubrick or someone on his production team didn’t make that error.
Incredibly beautiful. Unimaginably exciting. I have no words to describe my feelings. I'm so glad to find this project after I've watched the film four-three years ago
Award worthy. Just need it to go on for a few hours more. Take us inside of HAL, the air lock, the POD. Would love to see the Pan Am starliner, space station, and the moon shuttle as well. Great work!
With today’s space flight technology it would take six years to fly to Jupiter. One way. Kubrick was forced to edit out some of the scenes during their voyage to Jupiter, as he was attempting to show how life would be on that flight, even if he imagined it would take “only” three years. And Dave Bowman would spend roughly half of it alone after Frank Poole and the crew had been eliminated by HAL. In the book it describes all the ways Bowman would kill time. This video is AWESOME! Thank you for posting it!
Thank you for watching!! Six years! Wow. I spotted there was a piano within the discovery centrifuge: www.flickr.com/photos/2001archive/27793140994 - it would have been great to see more of life on board.
@@TheHALProject That’s amazing! I’ve watched this movie what seems like a thousand times and I’ve never seen that! Is it an outtake (which I thought Kubrick destroyed)?
Absolute beauty and timeless perfection. Not one image, not one sound, is not exactly where it needs to be. Compared to it, even masterworks like Alien and Blade Runner pale.
50 years ago, I was unable to assimilate its message, but I was enthralled in the same way that I am now. Something embedded itself within me back then, and it continues to this day. Yes, I've lived with its narrative of mankind's eventful evolution to the infinite. After all, that's where we are all heading!
I was 12 when I pursuaded my father to get the family tix to see this. I had already seen an insert in the NY Times, featuring all the McCall artwork. That just about blew my mind! We finally saw it two weeks after it opened, at the old Capitol Theater in NYC's Times Square. The experience, to put it mildly, changed my life!!!
With this type of ambiance, reverence and attention to detail, it is obvious you are an enormous fan of this great film. Please make another video with the monolith as subject and the planetary alignment.
En los 80, con 15 años, leí el libro... Después en verano vi que la ponían en un cine de verano, bastante lejos de mi casa... No me importó, allá que me fui sólo, en autobús, por la noche... Toda una aventura, como la de Dave... Me encantó.
Well, well... we're back on the Discovery One. Hello ? Anybody home ? Hello ? "Well, the place looks deserted. I guess we'd better get outta here." ... said Jeremy the crow.
It’s not exactly apparent but when Bowman and Poole are anywhere but inside the centrifuge, like the pod bay, they must be using magnetic shoes to keep from floating around.
Remarkable work....my complements to you for recreating the 'essence' and ambience of Discovery.. It's erry other worldly environment is emphasised even more here by the absence of its human crew .... it reminds us of our relative insignificance as a species compared to the vastness of space and seeming infinity of the universe....and also Kubrick's genius in portraying these themes, and more so masterfully !
All of the threes in the design (sacred number). Three pods & three pods doors. Three space suits. Three rocket engine pods, each with two rockets (6). The monolith with six sides. Three antenna dishes. Three levels of life termination. HAL 9000 (triple three).
Really excellent stuff with the slow, long shots, no tracking top quality directing, editing and sound design. No humans just HAL and lots of screen readouts, unbroken icey vibe. A couple of nerdy points, the original ideas for the soundtrack included using Vaughan Williams Antarctic symphony No 7 and the original concept for the Discovery included large solar panel type “wings”. If you really like the book / movie (they were created concurrently by Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke) may I recommend you read “Lost Worlds of 2001” by ACC. Terrific read for those who are still, like me, enthralled by this epic, ground-breaking piece of 20th century art.
Amazing film, as are the many Kubrick master pieces. To think this was released when I was born...1968. And look at the 'dashboards' of the spacecraft. They look so much like the readouts in the SpaceX Dragon. >;-)
flatscreen displays when at the time computers were reading punch cards. TV was a tube as was most electronics. Happy for the transistor radio. on TV, first season of Star Trek, I could not watch it after seeing the future presented in 2001, I Pads. Picture phones. electronic identification. A postcard from the future. Yes we got to the moon, and stopped cold.
Assisti o filme em seu lançamento em uma enorme tela curva. Tinha sensação de estar dentro da nave. É impossivel imaginar outra trilha sonora sem a musica (?) de Gyorgi Ligeti. Perfeito ! A filmagem em 70mm seria como um 4k original de hoje. Um final que pouca gente se atreve explicar ou esclarecer. Brazil. Portuguese language.
Nice to see close-up details that I've never before seen, like the hibernation pod controls and instructions and a good, long look at the hanger pods. I saw the movie in 1968 in the theater when it came out. I was eight but it made quite an impression. Lost count of how many times I've watched it. 25? 30?
I saw it in 1968 too. I was six, so I just remember the cool space scenes, and I didn’t really understand the plot. I’ve also seen the movie a bunch of times. It was also the first movie I saw on video tape.
I saw this movie when I was 8 in '68 and it probably changed my life toward a love for science and aerospace in particular. I remember when my college had it in their video library, it took 4 VHS tapes, which I had to request to be changed out at the end of each one, but it was worth it. Just completed a 40 year career working at Kennedy Space Center, very likely a direct result of this film.
Having been born during the Apollo missions to land on the Moon, didn't get to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey until the late 1970s. As the late Arthur Clarke once said: "If you understand '2001' completely, we failed. We wanted to raise far more questions than we answered." Kubrick and Clarke asked questions to which some answers are still being sought.
@@ChatGPT1111 Very cool. Visited Kennedy a few times. Nice area... but the lightning is horrific. The Discovery seems to me like a very practical design. I would install Linux instead though ...
@@michaelbruno1666 wow you must've been here at about the 1% of the time it is like that. I've lived here in east central Florida and the worst damage I've had from a storm here since 1984 was when my pool's solar panels got ripped off my roof. Had a 3 day power outage that week and that was it. Love it here.
Indeed I do....with James Caan and Robert Duval in leading roles....it depicts the cold war space race to beat the Russians to land a man on the moon....though dated inevitably it is an excellent watch with a gripping storyline and acting, and, for it age the special effects are really decent. Another 60's s/f film well worth seeing featuring manned space flight gone awry is 'Marooned' with a stellar cast led by Gregory Peck, Richard Crenna, Gene Hackmann , David Jansson and James Franciscus...based on a best seller novel by Martin Caidin...it's a film that I return to now and then largely on the strength of its performances. I believe it is still available to watch in full on UA-cam, or was a month or so ago. Enjoy !
@@milesfarrimond2445 Ah yes. realistic science fiction from the 60s. Though I was actually referring to a UK Comic called Countdown, in which all the 2001 spaceships were re-used in another story. Around 1970. Thanks for the reply though.
One of the best epic science fiction films ever made. And this in 1968 produced and directed by Kubrick, is so spectacular. But I admit, The Shining is even more unforgettable. Kubrick is definitely one of the greatest filmmakers in cinema history.
I was thinking this was to be thought of as the Discovery after the film's end, as Dave has gone beyond the infinite and all others are dead. But around the 4:50 mark, there are all 3 pods. So this is just a look at the ship, and a breathtaking one. Just when we Space Odyssey lovers think we can't add to our experience of this immersive film, along comes another way. Thank you.
One unfortunate error in this most excellent movie is, in exterior shots in space, the moving stars, particularly when the camera is locked onto a view of a spacecraft. But I do understand the desire to show movement. Another is the inconsistent depiction of inertia. A nice realization of it is when Bowman removes the AE-35 control unit. Another good instance is when Bowman captures the body of Frank Poole with the pod's arms. However, I wince a little when Bowmans pod is cranking open the emergency airlock - one-handed. A more subtle example of neglecting inertial effects are shots where astronaut (or two) tranfer to the centrifuge in the hub-link sequences. There's no indication that their bodies' masses shift due to their inertia.
This incredible masterpiece remain the best sci-fi Movie after 55 years no one did better yet
Especially considering the era and what they had to work with. It is brilliant. My only problem with it is that is was/is SO SLOW moving.. literally. It is a masterpiece and will never be beat for sure!

Back "in the day" when we saw this in the theaters, the dark side of technology was not fully understood. Those were the good old days.
This is absolutely beautiful work. I keep coming back again and again, just can't get enough. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Oh, HAL - you magnificent bastard.
I saw this the cinema as a young lad, the whole thing was an amazing experience. Didn't understand half of it and have rewatched it many times, the visuals are for the day spectacular and even stand up to todays cgi. And as modern film makers have now realised the music score is as important as the film itself...
What an amazing experience that must have been - the visuals are jaw dropping even today!
Really cool. The pod door suddenly opening was surprisingly creepy.
"Event Horizon" - Discovery edition.
After the pod door opened, I expected to see Bowman and Poole re-emerge from inside after their conversation out of ear shot by HAL.
wow, these are absolutely stunning!
The first shot inside the spacecraft is the captain… Hal.. chills
Still after all these years, the sfx, the photography still hold# up as well as any modern cgi generated stuff. Just goes to show how much of a genius the director and lighting cameraman were.
Absolutely. It doesn't look dated one iota. Genius.
Geoffrey Unsworth and John Alcott were the Directors of Photography.

Different movie.
I was barely 1 year old when this masterful film was made (1968)!! Kubrick's eye for perfect detail made this film stand up to the passage of time very well..It is very sad we don't have spaceships like this for real exploring our Solar System. He made it look real!!
A deep and thought filled film. In 2068 it will doubt still look amazing!!
This is the #1 movie in the SF. This video recreated in me the first time I saw this scene into the cinema... FANTASTIC !!! I have to admit that I've had short "jump" on my chair when I've seen the Pod's door suddenly open and... nobody was inside... only Hal's eye... congratulations on this idea!
Thank you so much, it's great to hear from you! 2001 is definitely #1!
How wonderfully dehumanizing.
My favorite musical piece from the film, really! Neat, now I have a digital copy err that I can access online here anytime, that's great! And with 4K ambiance, too!
My God... That's wonderful! And reminds one of how good the musical score is. The film is great, in part, because the dialog is so sparse, that the viewer's imagination is given greater license. That movie may still be a singularity.
Our family went to see this when it came out I was totally freaked ! There had never been a space movie that realistically done! And then there was HAL! It’s my all time favorite for as long as I live space film! We have a 3 season room that we close up in the winter and it’s named DISCOVERY ! ❤️👍🙋♂️🖖🏻
Haha that is awesome! There really is no other film like it, even recent films fail to capture the true nature of space - it's all gone a bit too action focused - we need more sedate, slow paced sci-fi that catapults the audience into the realism of space travel (which is likely a mix of wonder & boredom!)
I would like to spend my time there, on a pension, would look after it for you
Kubricks use of the flat computer screen in 1968 was incredibly groundbreaking. IT was the closest realistic movie to not so near future - ever / No one was close until many years later
And recall that, in the "sequel" movie 2010, those screens were replaced by CRTs
That was terrifying and I couldn't look away. Great job.
The Discovery filming model was 50 feet long. When it was finished the builders showed it to Stanley Kramer and he didn't like it and wanted changes, the builders put a dust blanket over it and it sat until filming. It was filmed with no changes and Kramer loved it.
What a wonderful ship design...
HAL: Good evening, Dave. Everything is running smoothly.
Iconic Masterpiece. Couldn't be done better today.
This video is incredible and I’m very grateful to the person who created it and posted it on UA-cam. I hope, though, that this is primarily the creation of the poster and not shots from the film. I have a very specific reason for saying that. I say it because, in one of the six blue rectangles on the black panel above the head of one of the hibernating astronauts, there is the word “hyperthalamus.” Human beings have a hypothalamus, not a “hyperthalamus,” and it would be nice to know that Stanley Kubrick or someone on his production team didn’t make that error.
That error is in the original film.
greatest film of all time
Couldn't agree more!
Incredibly beautiful. Unimaginably exciting. I have no words to describe my feelings. I'm so glad to find this project after I've watched the film four-three years ago
Award worthy. Just need it to go on for a few hours more. Take us inside of HAL, the air lock, the POD. Would love to see the Pan Am starliner, space station, and the moon shuttle as well. Great work!
Great job on this clean masterpiece scene compilation.
With today’s space flight technology it would take six years to fly to Jupiter. One way. Kubrick was forced to edit out some of the scenes during their voyage to Jupiter, as he was attempting to show how life would be on that flight, even if he imagined it would take “only” three years. And Dave Bowman would spend roughly half of it alone after Frank Poole and the crew had been eliminated by HAL. In the book it describes all the ways Bowman would kill time. This video is AWESOME! Thank you for posting it!
Thank you for watching!! Six years! Wow. I spotted there was a piano within the discovery centrifuge: www.flickr.com/photos/2001archive/27793140994 - it would have been great to see more of life on board.
@@TheHALProject That’s amazing! I’ve watched this movie what seems like a thousand times and I’ve never seen that! Is it an outtake (which I thought Kubrick destroyed)?
Profund and poignant "on steroids"... and the musical score gets me every time... haunting
Absolute beauty and timeless perfection. Not one image, not one sound, is not exactly where it needs to be. Compared to it, even masterworks like Alien and Blade Runner pale.
What an amazing piece of movie making. Even today it’s still considered a sci-go classic. A film like this can not be redone. It would be ruined.
50 years ago, I was unable to assimilate its message, but I was enthralled in the same way that I am now. Something embedded itself within me back then, and it continues to this day.
Yes, I've lived with its narrative of mankind's eventful evolution to the infinite. After all, that's where we are all heading!
What a beautiful ship...
I was 12 when I pursuaded my father to get the family tix to see this. I had already seen an insert in the NY Times, featuring all the McCall artwork. That just about blew my mind! We finally saw it two weeks after it opened, at the old Capitol Theater in NYC's Times Square. The experience, to put it mildly, changed my life!!!
A classic SciFi movie way ahead of its time thanks to Kubrick and his magic touch.
Um marco da ficção científica.
Como pode ser feito nessa época.
Fantástico!!!.
With this type of ambiance, reverence and attention to detail, it is obvious you are an enormous fan of this great film. Please make another video with the monolith as subject and the planetary alignment.
Thank you! That’s a wonderful idea!
@@TheHALProject And reveal it as a Boeing sunsat being moved into working position lol.
J'adore la musique les images, l'histoire, bref j'aime tout de ce film et le bouquin aussi assez proche tous les 2
En los 80, con 15 años, leí el libro... Después en verano vi que la ponían en un cine de verano, bastante lejos de mi casa... No me importó, allá que me fui sólo, en autobús, por la noche... Toda una aventura, como la de Dave... Me encantó.
A movie truly ahead of it's time! Kubrick had a "vision" here that was beyond his time!
Kubrick's public relations director, Roger Caras, said; "It looks like a documentary sent to us from the future."
Well, well... we're back on the Discovery One. Hello ? Anybody home ? Hello ? "Well, the place looks deserted. I guess we'd better get outta here." ... said Jeremy the crow.
My congratulations for your channel. Brings me an amazing experience... please,more!!
It’s not exactly apparent but when Bowman and Poole are anywhere but inside the centrifuge, like the pod bay, they must be using magnetic shoes to keep from floating around.
I love this detail - sadly this was ignored in the sequel 2010.
Excellent work. I cannot imagine how it was done, but thank you for the effort.
Brilliant. Just stunning. A great piece of work, thankyou.
Thank you!!
Still the best! Very nice tribute as well
Gayane was used in the beginning of Aliens. James Horner incorporated a piece of the music in the main title.
That music is so beautiful. Nice edit.
So real. Thank you. Love from Indonesia
2001 Odisea del espacio, es una obra maestra en todo aspecto!!
The film is a priceless look at great film making by a master.
Oh HAL, I have missed you.
So sad yet so soothing at the same time.
Great job with the visuals & atmospheric foley. 👏
You have my attention.
Amazing job, well done. Best film ever made bar none. I used to have your HAL screensaver but Flash is needed which Apple dropped.
Thank you! That's so cool that you used to have the screensaver - it really was great fun - it was very sad that flash was unable to continue.
Wicked BEAUTIFUL!!!! My DVD copy of the movie pales in comparison to your recreation. I doubt the 4K restoration of the movie looks this good.
Thank you so much!
Remarkable work....my complements to you for recreating the 'essence' and ambience of Discovery.. It's erry other worldly environment is emphasised even more here by the absence of its human crew .... it reminds us of our relative insignificance as a species compared to the vastness of space and seeming infinity of the universe....and also Kubrick's genius in portraying these themes, and more so masterfully !
This is so photo realistic that it's insane!
Beautiful work keep it up. Maybe one day we’ll get to see the ship fly up to the main station space station two
I've recently watched this masterpiece for the umpteenth time..Always MINDBLOWING. 🌹🌹🌹
All of the threes in the design (sacred number). Three pods & three pods doors. Three space suits. Three rocket engine pods, each with two rockets (6). The monolith with six sides. Three antenna dishes. Three levels of life termination. HAL 9000 (triple three).
Gosh - you know I never realised it but you're right! Great observation! I'll now have to watch it all over again! :D
Don't forget the three hibernating crewmen; Dr Charles Hunter, Dr Jack Kimball and Dr Victor Kaminski.
Now I know where James Horner got his inspiration for the ALIENS score 👍🏻
Really excellent stuff with the slow, long shots, no tracking top quality directing, editing and sound design. No humans just HAL and lots of screen readouts, unbroken icey vibe. A couple of nerdy points, the original ideas for the soundtrack included using Vaughan Williams Antarctic symphony No 7 and the original concept for the Discovery included large solar panel type “wings”. If you really like the book / movie (they were created concurrently by Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke) may I recommend you read “Lost Worlds of 2001” by ACC. Terrific read for those who are still, like me, enthralled by this epic, ground-breaking piece of 20th century art.
Amazing film, as are the many Kubrick master pieces. To think this was released when I was born...1968. And look at the 'dashboards' of the spacecraft. They look so much like the readouts in the SpaceX Dragon. >;-)
flatscreen displays when at the time computers were reading punch cards. TV was a tube as was most electronics. Happy for the transistor radio. on TV, first season of Star Trek, I could not watch it after seeing the future presented in 2001, I Pads. Picture phones. electronic identification. A postcard from the future. Yes we got to the moon, and stopped cold.
@@IvorPresents
'we got to the moon and stopped cold'
or did we??
Assisti o filme em seu lançamento em uma enorme tela curva. Tinha sensação de estar dentro da nave.
É impossivel imaginar outra trilha sonora sem a musica (?) de Gyorgi Ligeti. Perfeito !
A filmagem em 70mm seria como um 4k original de hoje.
Um final que pouca gente se atreve explicar ou esclarecer.
Brazil. Portuguese language.
1:24: I knew that James Horner was never too shy about his "musical references," but wow...
Nice to see close-up details that I've never before seen, like the hibernation pod controls and instructions and a good, long look at the hanger pods. I saw the movie in 1968 in the theater when it came out. I was eight but it made quite an impression. Lost count of how many times I've watched it. 25? 30?
I saw it in 1968 too. I was six, so I just remember the cool space scenes, and I didn’t really understand the plot. I’ve also seen the movie a bunch of times. It was also the first movie I saw on video tape.
I saw this movie when I was 8 in '68 and it probably changed my life toward a love for science and aerospace in particular. I remember when my college had it in their video library, it took 4 VHS tapes, which I had to request to be changed out at the end of each one, but it was worth it. Just completed a 40 year career working at Kennedy Space Center, very likely a direct result of this film.
Having been born during the Apollo missions to land on the Moon, didn't get to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey until the late 1970s. As the late Arthur Clarke once said: "If you understand '2001' completely, we failed. We wanted to raise far more questions than we answered." Kubrick and Clarke asked questions to which some answers are still being sought.
@@ChatGPT1111 Very cool. Visited Kennedy a few times. Nice area... but the lightning is horrific. The Discovery seems to me like a very practical design. I would install Linux instead though ...
@@michaelbruno1666 wow you must've been here at about the 1% of the time it is like that. I've lived here in east central Florida and the worst damage I've had from a storm here since 1984 was when my pool's solar panels got ripped off my roof. Had a 3 day power outage that week and that was it. Love it here.
Excellent. The Discovery has always been one of my favourite spacecraft.
Does anyone remember Countdown?
Indeed I do....with James Caan and Robert Duval in leading roles....it depicts the cold war space race to beat the Russians to land a man on the moon....though dated inevitably it is an excellent watch with a gripping storyline and acting, and, for it age the special effects are really decent. Another 60's s/f film well worth seeing featuring manned space flight gone awry is 'Marooned' with a stellar cast led by Gregory Peck, Richard Crenna, Gene Hackmann , David Jansson and James Franciscus...based on a best seller novel by Martin Caidin...it's a film that I return to now and then largely on the strength of its performances. I believe it is still available to watch in full on UA-cam, or was a month or so ago. Enjoy !
@@milesfarrimond2445 Ah yes. realistic science fiction from the 60s. Though I was actually referring to a UK Comic called Countdown, in which all the 2001 spaceships were re-used in another story. Around 1970.
Thanks for the reply though.
It would be an interesting project to produce engineering drawings of the Discovery Space Ship...
26 seconds in and already hooked.
One of the best epic science fiction films ever made. And this in 1968 produced and directed by Kubrick, is so spectacular. But I admit, The Shining is even more unforgettable. Kubrick is definitely one of the greatest filmmakers in cinema history.
2001 is Kubrick's magnum opus! The starship Discovery is excellently rendered.
I was thinking this was to be thought of as the Discovery after the film's end, as Dave has gone beyond the infinite and all others are dead. But around the 4:50 mark, there are all 3 pods. So this is just a look at the ship, and a breathtaking one. Just when we Space Odyssey lovers think we can't add to our experience of this immersive film, along comes another way. Thank you.
Thank YOU! It's an absolute pleasure to hear such wonderful feedback :)
One unfortunate error in this most excellent movie is, in exterior shots in space, the moving stars, particularly when the camera is locked onto a view of a spacecraft. But I do understand the desire to show movement.
Another is the inconsistent depiction of inertia. A nice realization of it is when Bowman removes the AE-35 control unit. Another good instance is when Bowman captures the body of Frank Poole with the pod's arms.
However, I wince a little when Bowmans pod is cranking open the emergency airlock - one-handed.
A more subtle example of neglecting inertial effects are shots where astronaut (or two) tranfer to the centrifuge in the hub-link sequences. There's no indication that their bodies' masses shift due to their inertia.
Love it! Great work
