  • One who interprets 2001 as a science fiction movie did actually understand nothing about this movie.

  • What a beautiful thing for Time magazine to say. Made me cry because it's absolutely true.

  • HEY! I recognize that song from every other film, show, video game, and any other general medic performance of all time!

  • rick flair:wooooooooooooooooooooooo­!!

  • Shooow de bola, sou do Brazil

  • Amazing that this movie was released before man landed on the moon

  • Better yet, see it on the big screen. I always fell asleep when trying to watch it on DVD. Then I got to see it on a curved 70mm screen in England.

    There literally is no comparision.

  • @JBarg25 Sadly, I don't think too many theaters have either Cinemascope screens or 70mm projectors any longer. In the SF bay area during the 70's the film would be shown on one of the few remaining. It'll be interesting if the film gets a remastering and is shown on any of the new digital projectors sometime though.

  • @Oldbmwr100rs: I'm in Western New York. The closest 70mm screen to me is in Toronto, and they show this every six months.

    I would think an IMAX run could be amazing. Although I bet the Kubrick estate either turns down the idea or demands that it be shown only on screens that still use the 70mm version of IMAX, similar to Christopher Nolan and the Dark Knight Rises prologue.

    The reality is that unless you live in a major city, IMAX is as close as you can get to recreating the 70mm experience.

  • 0:15 - 1:40 BEST TRAILER MUSIC EVER!!!!!!!!!!

  • best sci fi movie ever

  • IMAGINE HOW CRAZY THIS MUST HAVE BEEN WHEH IT CAME OUT IN 1968

  • Wiki says that Movie is from '68. How the fuck did they do this awesome special effects? I mean, other movies from that time look like shit.

  • @LuVit010 The models were huge; the cameras could get inches away without them looking like plastic. That was part of it. That, and making everything look so real that every film after it had to either match it or try something else. This film is why "Star Wars" and "Alien" don't look like the original "Star TREK" television series. See this film in a theater at LEAST once.

  • i want to be major tom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and have shiny gun toys sing me a song!!!! nooooooooooow! ;-)

  • chris brown. 

  • "Go and get the DVD" who is DVD?

  • Don't be fooled by anyone into thinking this is a bad trailer. 2001 is an experience, and the less you know about it going in, the better it will be. That's exactly the purpose of this trailer. An assualt of astounding images in nonsensical order set to triumphant music that leaves you with just one thought: "I don't know what the hell that was all about, but I want to see it!"

  • @Jahoobano Well said!

  • wow, that has to be one of the worst trailers I have ever seen... I really want to go and see the movie now...

  • I bet people shat on their pants when they first saw this trailer back in the 60's...

  • @JasonDamisch You wouldn't believe how they did it. Just about made my jaw drop when I learned. The whole room rotates, with the camera fixed to a dolly on the floor that turns the *camera* upside-down as the rest of the room moves.

  • One great thing about this film is that it is the only realistic portrayal of 'artificial gravity' in any science fiction movie that I know of.

  • rubbish trailer for a good film

  • that song always sends chills down my spine.

  • @wwcohwwg Mine too! But beautiful ones <3 <3 :) ;)

  • the queen of science-fiction.

  • @alphakiloecho19 and whats the king??

  • Any Aliens ?
