yeah it did. if you watch the interviews on the 2001 blu rays with george lucas, he pretty much admits that without 2001 there wouldn't have been star wars.
When I first watched this movie in the 60's, I was so looking forward to the year 2001 that we might see these wonderous sights. Well its 2008 and our international space station doesn't even come close. Maybe by 2020?

@skywaymanaz I agree, boring ass movie. Do we really need 10 min docking and landing sequences, a 5 min opening of a black screen? Jeez, plus the movie is so abstract even a beatnick has trouble understanding it.
Before this directors were hanging dinner plates on strings, filming them spinning and calling them UFO's. Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke were way ahead of their time.
Quite possibly the most amazing movie ever made. All done before man actually set foot on the moon! Today's movie-makers could learn much from this one.
I watch the space station spin and think how the hell do these guy dock each time with crashing in it.And I think of dancing people,too-since what the music was for anyway.
I've read the book. It says something about the outside disc spinning to provide artificial gravity, but the docking portion in the middle remains motionless. People moving from the weightless to the gravity section have no trouble, like getting on an escalator.
See what you mean d3p3ph3mod3 but there are human figure seen in windows on the various craft featured throughout the film, including this scene which adds to the realism of the movie but you shuold indeed whatch it again on your remastered DVD on your fi-fidelity stereo digital TV. View this great master work. Sit back, relax and enjoy the trip!
funny i didnt remember seeing people in this part from before... theyre not standing in those side windows are they? guess i have to go watch my dvd again
I know all you did was hit the record button but I can't help it, this is my fav movie of all time and I kind of want to cry because the low res actually makes it look as real as it did to those people in 1969. 5 stars
no it really looks like one of the least compressed youtube vids ive ever seen, i'm just saying the small screen size makes the flaws of the original models less noticeable
mr kubrick nver said what this movie ment so dont jump to your sprem and egg ideas from film anilizers you must make this movie your own and find out what it means to you
Well, I guess the best compliment I ever heard paid was an interview with a Kosmonaut who said when he got to space, it was just like Stanley Kubrick had showed him!

Check out Stanley Kubrick's new movie coming out Christmas 2011!
It's been kept very hush-hush, but someone leaked the trailer!

It's pretty obvious, from the look of the spacecraft in this movie, that this movie influenced the look of the spacecraft in Star Wars.

Some people get terribly bored with this movie and by this scene, are itching to get out of their seats.
I'm not one of them. It's a fantastic movie that really gets your imagination going. :D
