I also love the factual and continutity errors in these titles: Tycho where TMA-1 (the Monolith in 2001) was located is no where near the Sea of Tranquility, and finding TMA-1 took place (per the movie 2001) around FEB 2001 (you see 021201 on the photo in the original movie where someone says 'here's what started the whole thing').
@DoctorJK3 you're right about the movie, but in Clarke's books the TMA1 was found in 1999, since when it was found 'Discovery' hadn't launched yet, and according to the story it takes two years to get to Jupiter (Saturn in the book).
This was a great movie, but it did differ from the book quite a bit. In the book, the US and USSR were friends and there wasn't anything about the Cold War or a conflict in Central America. They also totally ignored the Chinese storyline about landing on Europa.
Sunrise on the VLA, which means the sun is coming up from somewhere close to Langmuir labs, which would often launch weather balloons, which would sometimes get mistaken for aliens, which are the subject of this movie. What a funny little world we live in! (Or maybe that's just New Mexico? ;)
This opening sequence alone made me go see this movie 5 or 6 times in April, 1985 (why Australia had to wait many months after the US was nutty). Thanks for throwing this up on YouTube.
2001 is the most horrible movie ever, no I wasnt expecting action or anything, I was expecting a interesting sci fi movie, what I got was a showcase of how space travel will look in 2001, what the movie was actualy about was like 10 mins tops, not worth watching the 2 and a half hours of that crap, its just time wasting...
@kbron802 The thing is that, they wasted the whole movie on completely useless things. They could have easily cut half of the scenes out and reduce the movie to a normal 1:30 lenght while keeping the idea and everything there. I won't even talk about the horrible lack of any acting skills or emotions, they just basicly read what they got in the script with no emotionso r anything, like robots. Music is even worse, they playe the same 2 tracks every 5 minutes in completely random scenes...
People crack on 2010 because it was do different from 2001, but the books on which they are based also contrast each other greatly. Honestly, I enjoyed the film of 2010 more than 2001
@manutdbass19 yes it is a work of art but.... when it was made the special effects (cgi) and the music while both very good. must have been a serious LSD trip for those how used drugs. I wonder how many total words were spoken in 2001. Maybe less than 400.
And the year 2010 in an avant-garde type font really actually feels more at home to what was then current. Now we got ugly humanist sans-serif type fonts such as Comic Sans! Also, "the world getting smaller" seems to be the theme since the '90s and continues, not expanding outward!
@pannoni1 It's interesting you would call avant-garde humanist as if that were a bad thing. But it is cool that Kubrick chose a futurist/eurostile font. I love it.
The reason we (humanity) fail is we're mostly shallow. We place value on looks and material possessions, instead of the development of the intellect. Plain and simple, think about it.
@grandpadewey you are correct to a point but the question remains who is responsible for this self centered nation. There is a master plan for the fall of America and the world, think about that too!
What to listen for! Listen to the opening with left/right fronts/surrounds turned off, listen to the centre all you’ll hear is the computer typing out the report in sound effects. When the score starts its miles apart different over Dolby 4.2.4 matrix listening where left/right fold onto it due to the nature of the matrix. I don’t know what possessed to Warner to fuck up a discrete 6track Dolby Stereo mix, on bluray?
One of the best opening sequences ever in my opinion.
2010 is a really underrated sci-fi movie. It's such a shame the sci-fi genre is saturated with a lot of crud, and for the typical "fan" it's more about visuals, exotic looking aliens, special effects, rather than good sci fi.
There are few exceptions today: "Moon", and "Sunshine".
The best thing to do is don't make a third installment ............. rather let man set forth to reality a sequel by getting to the stars and reaching his ultimate destiny and thus be it the space odyssey.
Alien means unlike one's own; strange; not belonging to one.
There is nothing that exists that is alien. For we all belong to each other we are all a part of each other. All the beings that exist in this universe are all a part of one.
Omg I am freaking out !!!!!!!! I was so scared while watching this movie but it was so good that I couldn't stop watching !!! The monolith scares me, the star child freaks me out and everytime he says my god it's full of stars I get chills down my spine
When people from the early and mid 20th century imagined the future they predicted space travel as an everyday occurance, An end to poverty, Equal living for all people and flying cars. What we got was a black president (Which is still shocking to some people) The internet and reality TV. Where did it all go wrong.
Boy, did you say it, man! The world is being run by a bunch of grown children, and all you and I can do is complain to one another in Youtube comments.
The world still has lots of potential, but man have things gone wrong....
Large Banks, Corrupt Government, Large Greedy Selfesh Corporations, a Large Oil industry that is Suppressing Free Energy Technologies, Big Corporate PHarma, and the "HATRED, GREED, SELFISHNESS, AND STUPIDITY" IS WHAT WENT WRONG.
@matrags It all went wrong because white men were still in charge and continues wars and corporate exploitation of the working class. It all went wrong when white men continued acting like the devil and were greedy and anti christian.
@Ramonesaehs Don't bring religion into this with your "Anti Christianity" bullshit. Relying on a belief of an unproven 'directer, punisher, and savior of the Universe' shows a lack of intelligence and close mindedness. And you cannot simply tie down one skin color to the overall collapse of society. There is no one fully responsible race, although some are more to blame than others, you cannot truly pin it down on Whites.
@123hellllllllllllllo Typical white person when confronted with the truth. Profanity laced attempts to blame one of the many minority groups you have exploited and degraded through the centuries. Profanity just shows that you're merely angry white trash. How many of you do you think will make it to heaven ? Start with the slave owners and then continue with the heads of corporations and follow up with your white supremacist church leaders.
"Profanity laced"? One profound word I used in all that was 'bullshit'. If you are going to say anything is 'laced' with profanity, it usually would include more than one profound word. Also, not every single white human had something to do with slavery. Including my family. Traced back through centuries, we have never owned other races as slaves. Also, profanity is merely a way of trying to express ones emotions in a sharp manner. It does not prove my race, my political opinions
@123hellllllllllllllo I lOVE IT when white trash like yourself start sharing your personal family history with me. What next, you have a black friend ? Or a black guy mugged you so explain him and your conservatism ? Good work and quite pathetic with your explanations. You KNOW what your family though about blacks and slavery centuries ago ? The monolith in the movie wasn't real stupid ass. You can't time travel. LOL correction you're "laced" with ignorance and white Tea Party realities.
Now, you can use profanity in your debate? If you are going to curse, its much better to use something better than 'stupid ass'. Also, I DO know my families history throughout journals and records kept of them, in fact, my grandparents participated in riots and sit-ins to END segregation in the United States, risking their LIVES for African Americans to be treated fairly.
@123hellllllllllllllo Keep up the good work with that. I'm sure you have indian ancestry too. But instead of saying your ancestor raped them you'll make it out to be some kind of seduction. I used profanity in my last response because reading your posts it was an accurate description. You can't time travel and thanks for more personal information about your family. Only racist losers like yourself come up with that stuff to hopefully win me over to your side. Won't work. Not into the Klan.
@Ramonesaehs And you typed that part about "What next, you have a black friend ? Or a black guy mugged you so explain him and your conservatism ?" This can easily be turned around to you. You blame whites for Hell-ish activities only because you know there once were white slave owners. Have YOU ever met them face-to-face? No. But I can tell you one thing we both share if we had the chance to do so, beat the hell out of them and treat them like they treated their slaves.
@123hellllllllllllllo I am not about to tell you who I have or haven't met. Sharing personal information online like you is just the last defense of ignorant losers who can't back up their arguments. Like I said, keep up with the good transparent white defense. Make sure you add, Sharpton, Jesse, if I don't like america leave it... argument. As only an ignorant bigot can do. It's just a movie but clearly I struck a nerve. As I said before , can't time travel to meet ancestors OR slaveowners.
@Ramonesaehs (I would also do the same to Hitler for the Holocaust and mistreatment of Jews, homosexuals, and Gypsies, but thats a whole other debate) And how can you call me white trash for sharing family history? That is merely evidence for my stand on this topic ( from what I can tell, you have failed to bring in any evidence for your stand, just in case you wanted to be more convincing).
@123hellllllllllllllo Then why keep writing ? You began this over my thoughts on the movie theme and decided to personalize it with me. Now you want evidence to convince you of something. I'm SO not down with master/slave dynamics which is what you are trying to establish. LOL As I've stated before you're arguments are typical of Christian , right wing white trash. You now want last word to put me in my place !
Your Fox News talking points on race are brilliant.
@Ramonesaehs This bears no relation to the slang word, "white trash". If I were white trash, would I be using 1. This type of grammar 2. Watching 2010: A Space Odyssey 3. Even bothering to state my opinion on your comment? No. So once again, please research the word, "white trash" and see what applies to me in that definition. Besides skin color.
@123hellllllllllllllo I want to say " You're so articulate" but Fox News and conservative white trash like yourself cornered the market on that one. LOL Keep trying. You STILL can't time travel.
, my finicial status, upbringing, or sex. So the fact that you assumed I am a white human being is once again, based on pure stereotypical behavior. Which is exactly what was to be expected from someone like you who tries to pin down the earths problems on one race. Just because white skin tone has been more prominently known throughout history does not mean that they are responsible for all of the terrible things that have happened. Also, you should try not to bring in topics
@Ramonesaehs such as heaven into this debate. Can you PROVE with pure evidence and reasoning that something like that exists? And during that, can you also prove that a god, ruler of the universe, creator of all, exists? Because until you can do that, I can tell you that you have no grounds to stand on in this topic of question.
The internet was once part of the dream, but a technology is only as good as the people who use it and develop it. Rather than using it to enhance what we do we've used it to enhanced what we consume. We've used it to create microcommunities that reinforce prejudices and existing priorities, rather than being a tool for advancing new and better goals through the scientific outlook.
As for the rest, it's a bitter realization that the space program was really a tool of the military industrial complex. The goal first was to beat the Soviets. Other than that it's been used as an R&D testing ground for technical and geopolitical engineering, with scientists going along for the ride (and some good science being done along the way). It never really was just about exploration for its own sake. We're too interested in bread and circuses for that.
@matrags Isn't it interesting how (other than a few anomalies) we are still living in the same political and technological world we were back in the early 1980's.
@matrags with babylon the great around 4000BC around recent times...... around 1900 when the "federal"(actually private banker owned,see article, "i want earth + 5%)reserve formed stole evryones gold printed massive paper qauntity ,caused great depresion,
@matrags 1900eds when tesla schuberger,wilhelm riechs discoveries were stolen boittled uop,burned conspiracied covered up etc,fuk the cgovt conspiracy)as for the hovercars,even using normal jet tech theyre alredy here,theyre just iether secretfukinized(WASP aerial platform)or nonpruduction baught(mollar skycar)
the hight tech shit(schaubergers repulsine was stollen by nazis) was/were seen neer end of warii by allied pilots, coincidense?
The first one had story that was too long and slow and the bluray is not true to the original 6trcak 70mm mix it is not! ost of the dialogue panning as been condensed down to the centre channel SIGH! Epic fail! Buy the first edition region1!
I still have the letterbox edition of 2001 which blows the bluray to bits!
2010 not bad in 6trackDolby Stereo on first edition DVD. Bluray fail! They made fake stereo surrounds by using the discrete left and right fronts and folded it onto the mono surrounds! SIGH Now the mono surrounds are heavily masked and you can’t tell where the original surrounds come in and fade out?
So don't say I didn't warn you! I was mighty pissed off with Warner Bros doing this, how dare they make fake stereo surrounds and they faked most of the LFE.1 as well!
2010, Also they folded the centre phantom left right front onto the centre discrete which should only have now and then music score passes in it with a difference that stands apart from the other discrete channels. what a total fucking mess they gone and done!
@matrags What's wrong with having a black president? I mean I am neither black nor American, but you can't say mankind took the wrong way in part because of that... That's not serious at all.
@matrags It went wrong with economy as people (Banker morons overwhelmed with greed) in power prefer not to fix it but to fuck it up completely as we see in evidence of the recession.
@matrags whats so shocking about a black president? it is people who are shock about a black president is the one that are more shocking, especially in this modern era. thats for sure!
@jacekantoine None to bright are you smartass i see you have gotten many replies from people saying the same thing because there all knew what you were really saying smartass
@TheNEWfilmfanatic99 Not sure what you're complaining about. We have flying robots, killer cars, and the internet, which makes pretty much any travel redundant.

This movie was good, its really nothing like 2001 with Kubrick. Kubrick was a visionary director and a great director at that. Peter Hyams, he directed this to the best of his ability. I can't wait to watch this movie again in a couple of days on New Years Day, when TCM shows it again.
would love to see 2061 made. there were actually plans to make it when the book came out in '87, with Tom Hanks playing Floyd and Kier Dullea and Doug Rain reprising their roles, but nothing came of it.
The opening feels so much like 2001. The rest of the film doesn't ,but neither does the book, which it is very faithful to. I think if it were done it the same style as 2001, I wouldn't enjoy it as much because 2001 was so unique that any attempt to imitate it would just feel...well, like an imitation/
NOBODY would be able to recreate what Stanley Kubrick did. he was a pure visionary genius, and had a very unique style, especially in the 60s. i like to think of it as where 2001 is very abstract (although the book explains alot of things in detail - why HAL did what he did, what the monolith was, and even some details of the ETs who left the monoliths and what they did) 2010 is very concrete.
also keep in mind that Kubrick had absolute total control over the making of the movie, and took 4 years to make it, and he wanted another year but funding ran out. MGM approached Kubrick about directing 2010 but he wasnt interested. but if he had directed it im sure it would have been an incredible movie. Kubrick most likely tured it down because he would want to try to recreate what he did 2001 and felt he could not.
Dr Floyd is in 107 years old in 2061. Doctor on the orbital hospital says that his organism looks like he is 70 years old. Check this out.
2010 is just a movie of another class than 2001. It made in style of Hollywod, with action, explosions6 flashes and so on, to attract your eyes. When you just mediate watching 2001: unhurried, accurate, with significant camera work. 2010 looks like a theater play, while you feel yourself "inside" in 2001 movie.
2061 makes no sense. Dr. Floyd is in his seventies in the story. That would make him 10-18 years old at the time of 2001/2010. Just something to think about.
Both movies are great though. 2010 had a hard road to travel
for the simple reason that it came second. Its a curse.
I read somewhere that Clarke said that the books were set in different parallel universes, so some details of what happened were changed in each book.
I know. I believe that is an excuse he concocted to cover the fact that he cant count. Other than the chronological flufs, there's nothing to indicate different universes. There's no reason why 2061 couldn't have been set in 2037 or some other date. It may be he was trying to push the events of the first 2 books further into the future; since both would be outdated when he wrote the last 2. This would be an easier task if the year wasn't also the title. Think on it.
each book was written to account for the technology and political/social situations at the time the books were written.if 3001 (written in 1997) was able to acknowledge the end of the cold war between the usa and ussr by 1991 while the three books (all before 1991, with 2063 published in 1987) did not. that gives quite a real-world explanation for the parallel universes.
actually, 2061 is the next time halleys comet, a major part of the book, is supposed to come back into the solar system. which explains why its set it 61.
there are four books, all explaining nearly everything you would want to know. the first book was no very good but the others explained so much, if only they would make a movie for them all. their titles are,2001,2010,2065 maybe 2061 cant remember,and 3001. all are master pieces that should be bought as soon as possible.
After Bowman disconnected HAL, he could not fly back to Earth. Not enough oxygen, and no computer to monitor suspended animation. He stays and investigates the giant monolith. When he gets near, it triggers. It is a stargate, and Earth hears him say "its full of stars" as he looks in it and vanishes through.
HAL was given a conflict: do not reveal the truth to the crew, but report ALL info. This caused a logical flaw, that he tried to solve by removing the crew.
exactly the main cause= no one knows, but best explanation, is this. The doctors in earth new about the monolith and what it can do, therefore HAL was program to kill the crew and meet the monolith.
-The monolith= is a alien robot that helps civilizations evolve. @ the beginning it turned the apes to men. it helped evolve. that's the meaning of the bone! is now a tool.
-"is full of stars" means a new galaxy meaning new knowledge . at the end Dave is Born again. thanks to the monolith
I dont think HAL was programmed to intentionally kill the crew to meet the monolith....i remember it was something to do with a conflict of HAL's mission priority (which is to explore the monolith) and what the human crew were deliberating following the "breakdown" of the antenna... HAL ended up killing them because he felt that they would jeapordise the mission. That's my take on what happened...
Yes I agree with this. I believe HAL became threatened by Dave and Frank and that HAL would not be able to complete the mission. It's almost as if HAL acted completely human. In the sequel 2010, this is again a theme when HAL asks what will happen to him after the Leonov (the Russian craft) leaves Discovery One behind. I think part of the message in the 2001 film is about Man creating an image of himself and then seeing how screwed up we still all are. Great films both of them.

this is a good one.....if you´re not thinking in the vision of 2001. it would be an error to make a comparison between both movies. often it´s thought that 2010 tries to explain what happened in 2001, but acutally both movies have nothing to do with each other. 2001 goes beyond fiction concept of motion picture and 2010 depends of it.
It's not the same as the masterpiece that was 2001, but it's still a great movie. This intro is the best part, thanks to the excellent music and the "My God, it's full of stars!" And I love HAL, as he is showed in a more sympathetic light in this movie.
Filmen 2061 & 3001 !

Alien means unlike one's own; strange; not belonging to one.
There is nothing that exists that is alien. For we all belong to each other we are all a part of each other. All the beings that exist in this universe are all a part of one.

Not 'too' bad. Doesn't stand toe-to-toe with Kubrick's 2001 by a long shot.
Cinematography is pretty bland in comparison and acting is straight atrocious in areas.
Minimal back story, clarification and little resolution afterwards.
Doesn't cover 'anything' regarding the monoliths or the "Starchild' bowman.
Think about it, they didn't do anything. They didn't change anything that wasn't already going to happen.
A bit disappointed.. this movie could have(and should have) been a lot better.

When people from the early and mid 20th century imagined the future they predicted space travel as an everyday occurance, An end to poverty, Equal living for all people and flying cars. What we got was a black president (Which is still shocking to some people) The internet and reality TV. Where did it all go wrong.

@Ramonesaehs Don't bring religion into this with your "Anti Christianity" bullshit. Relying on a belief of an unproven 'directer, punisher, and savior of the Universe' shows a lack of intelligence and close mindedness. And you cannot simply tie down one skin color to the overall collapse of society. There is no one fully responsible race, although some are more to blame than others, you cannot truly pin it down on Whites.

"Profanity laced"? One profound word I used in all that was 'bullshit'. If you are going to say anything is 'laced' with profanity, it usually would include more than one profound word. Also, not every single white human had something to do with slavery. Including my family. Traced back through centuries, we have never owned other races as slaves. Also, profanity is merely a way of trying to express ones emotions in a sharp manner. It does not prove my race, my political opinions

As for the rest, it's a bitter realization that the space program was really a tool of the military industrial complex. The goal first was to beat the Soviets. Other than that it's been used as an R&D testing ground for technical and geopolitical engineering, with scientists going along for the ride (and some good science being done along the way). It never really was just about exploration for its own sake. We're too interested in bread and circuses for that.

NOBODY would be able to recreate what Stanley Kubrick did. he was a pure visionary genius, and had a very unique style, especially in the 60s. i like to think of it as where 2001 is very abstract (although the book explains alot of things in detail - why HAL did what he did, what the monolith was, and even some details of the ETs who left the monoliths and what they did) 2010 is very concrete.
Doug19752533 2 years ago
also keep in mind that Kubrick had absolute total control over the making of the movie, and took 4 years to make it, and he wanted another year but funding ran out. MGM approached Kubrick about directing 2010 but he wasnt interested. but if he had directed it im sure it would have been an incredible movie. Kubrick most likely tured it down because he would want to try to recreate what he did 2001 and felt he could not.

Dr Floyd is in 107 years old in 2061. Doctor on the orbital hospital says that his organism looks like he is 70 years old. Check this out.
2010 is just a movie of another class than 2001. It made in style of Hollywod, with action, explosions6 flashes and so on, to attract your eyes. When you just mediate watching 2001: unhurried, accurate, with significant camera work. 2010 looks like a theater play, while you feel yourself "inside" in 2001 movie.

2061 makes no sense. Dr. Floyd is in his seventies in the story. That would make him 10-18 years old at the time of 2001/2010. Just something to think about.
Both movies are great though. 2010 had a hard road to travel
for the simple reason that it came second. Its a curse.

I read somewhere that Clarke said that the books were set in different parallel universes, so some details of what happened were changed in each book.
scottishcello27 2 years ago
I know. I believe that is an excuse he concocted to cover the fact that he cant count. Other than the chronological flufs, there's nothing to indicate different universes. There's no reason why 2061 couldn't have been set in 2037 or some other date. It may be he was trying to push the events of the first 2 books further into the future; since both would be outdated when he wrote the last 2. This would be an easier task if the year wasn't also the title. Think on it.
drbotanus 2 years ago
each book was written to account for the technology and political/social situations at the time the books were written.if 3001 (written in 1997) was able to acknowledge the end of the cold war between the usa and ussr by 1991 while the three books (all before 1991, with 2063 published in 1987) did not. that gives quite a real-world explanation for the parallel universes.

So, what EXACTLY was the main cause of Hal short circuting? What was that monolith? And what did that guy mean when he said it's full of stars?
SharinganWarrior9 2 years ago
After Bowman disconnected HAL, he could not fly back to Earth. Not enough oxygen, and no computer to monitor suspended animation. He stays and investigates the giant monolith. When he gets near, it triggers. It is a stargate, and Earth hears him say "its full of stars" as he looks in it and vanishes through.
HAL was given a conflict: do not reveal the truth to the crew, but report ALL info. This caused a logical flaw, that he tried to solve by removing the crew.
chromatic2006 2 years ago 4
exactly the main cause= no one knows, but best explanation, is this. The doctors in earth new about the monolith and what it can do, therefore HAL was program to kill the crew and meet the monolith.
-The monolith= is a alien robot that helps civilizations evolve. @ the beginning it turned the apes to men. it helped evolve. that's the meaning of the bone! is now a tool.
-"is full of stars" means a new galaxy meaning new knowledge . at the end Dave is Born again. thanks to the monolith
hunterallen48 2 years ago 3
I dont think HAL was programmed to intentionally kill the crew to meet the monolith....i remember it was something to do with a conflict of HAL's mission priority (which is to explore the monolith) and what the human crew were deliberating following the "breakdown" of the antenna... HAL ended up killing them because he felt that they would jeapordise the mission. That's my take on what happened...
hinnong 2 years ago
Yes I agree with this. I believe HAL became threatened by Dave and Frank and that HAL would not be able to complete the mission. It's almost as if HAL acted completely human. In the sequel 2010, this is again a theme when HAL asks what will happen to him after the Leonov (the Russian craft) leaves Discovery One behind. I think part of the message in the 2001 film is about Man creating an image of himself and then seeing how screwed up we still all are. Great films both of them.
