  • From 0:00 to 1:12 RAW FEAR!!!

  • great movie ... the writing, the music, the, the hissing...

  • discovery jupiter mission eighteen months later!!!

  • There should be a film (hopefully soon) with it's subtitle being "death to CGI"

  • DAVE: "On come on H. A. L. I want to ENGAGE WARP DRIVE! Warp Factor 6!"

    H. A. L: "THAT IS NOT LOGICAL DAVE. WHY NOT TAKE A STRESS PILL . REMEMBER WHAT I DID TO YOUR FRIEND WHEN HE CLAIMED HE WAS SOME BEING CALLED 'SPOCK'---I SENT HIM; 'To Boldly go where no human...' into deep space cutting his cord & SENT HIM ADRIFT! SO! Shut your "PIE HOLE" 'Dave, or I will END ALL LIFEFORM FUNCTIONS OF YOURS! Sit down and shut up! I am driving! Will tell u when we get there!

  • Metropolis is the mother - 2001 is the father. :3

  • Coming from a younger artist... Out of all the scenes in this movie this one was my favorite... Its honestly hard for a younger guy to watch this movie without laughing at parts. This scene was very mysterious but had enough detail to get me interested. The score was perfect, provokes a scary and powerful feel... something to respect. The end did drag on but I was able to understand the philosophy behind it. I guess I should read the book.

  • awesome book the movie kind of sucked though

  • The 9000 computer hasn't a good feeling about the mission! "Astronauts, you're death, and than a control!"

  • i don's understand why the monolith killed the austronauts?

  • what do you mean killed them? It just emitted a really intense radio wave which translated into their headsets as a really loud sound which made them clutch their helmets

  • @StormSirens2

    You do realize this was made 1968, when computers were the size of small BUILDINGS. The computer screens were only about 7-8 inches across at that time, and they only HAD 2D images on these tiny screens. So shut up, and get your FACTS right.

  • Does anyone know how can I find a scene with ravel-bolero music?

  • anyone know were on youtube i can find a video with the music at the beginning.

  • It's amazing how every space sequence was done only with models- no CGI, since it hadn't been made yet. But what's even more amazing is how the model-work still holds up even after forty years. Truly, one of the greatest films ever produced.

  • @Darkn335 Nothing amazing about it. It's the way it should be done. CGI space sequences still to this day looks unrealistic. The feeling of 3 dimensional space is severely lacking. And CGI spaceships, they just look like they aren't really there. Compare the space battles of Revenge of the Sith to Return of the Jedi.

  • The Gayaneh ballet suite could not have fit the introduction of Discovery, Bowman and Poole in '2001' better if it had been written for it !

  • Sounds like Stephen Hawking

  • What's the name if the song that starts playing at 1.31? Does anyone know?

  • That beautiful piece is Khachaturian's "Gayenne Ballet Suite". Perfect music for a perfect movie.

  • What is the name of the song that play when the scientists go to look at the monolith?

  • long live the miniatures, death to CGI !!!

  • Comment removed

  • Why has this film dated little? It's because everything was thoroughly researched and meticulously planned. Not put together hurriedly by a couple of CGI-whizzs with PCs.

  • IMO, 2001 A Space Odyssey would be a good example of a perfect film.

  • Having worked with those "CGI whizes" I know they're always careful and don't do anything in a hurry. Most are big fans of the classic fx guys. Personally, I think a combination of both models and CGI would have an awesome effect.

  • yes, much like starship troopers lots of cgi

    but the roger young was all model.

  • @StephenDurnin CGI can be good too, when its done right. (see: MOON).

  • @StephenDurnin how come theres no laser blasts?wheres the monsters.?

    shit.

  • @StephenDurnin also the film wasn't "tested" in any way prior to its release. Therefore, shop girls, retired postal workers, and street bums weren't able to have the film withdrawn and recut to include car chases, stunt fighting, machine guns, explosions, and comic relief.

  • So good! The realistic silence in space is both beautiful and eerie.

  • This reminds me of the first scene of Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs". The spaceship shot goes on forever. Great parody!

  • i adore the first shot of discovery and the music with it \. It just conveys that feeling of loneliness and emptiness of space

  • Agreed! It gives me chills everytime, it just fits so perfectly

  • I love the monolith scene.

  • Saw this at the cinema when I was nine...I still try to find deeper meaning each time I have the brain power, so to speak, to view it.

  • The monolith scene freaked me out.

  • This is one of the only movies that shows space for what it really is.

    Well, Except for 1 small thing.

  • what's the one small thing ?

  • yeahh what is it?

  • "MsP" and "frem66", I speak to you from 3 months into your future. :-)

    The ONE technical error in presenting "space for what it really is" was the food returning to the container because of gravity when Dr. Floyd sucks on the straw.

    I saw this film in 68 in Chicago, then SF and Hollywood many times as it played at the Cinerama for 103 weeks.

    Words fail to communicate my state of being at the end of experiencing this film. Upon leaving the theater it would then fade.

    It was... transcendent.

  • 1:59 whats the soundtrack?

  • The same as 1:20 and 6:42 ...it's right out of the Movie... Gayane Ballet Suite (Adagio) Aram Khachaturian. You should find it on the Originial Movie Soundtrack. It was also used in the ALIENS Movie!

  • OMG i knew i had heard that song before. I totally remember that song in the ALIENS movie now.

  • Incorrect. Horner's theme however was heavily inspired and it makes a bit of sense since towards the end of production he was extremely rushed.

  • this is pretty cool

  • its funny how ppl dont understand the meaning of 2001 A Space Odyssey.This movie is GREAT!

  • I highly doubt you yourself fully understood everything Mr.Kubrick and Mr. Clark were trying to say in the movie, unless of course you read the book, and even then you have to read between the lines as the the subject they try and cover with both the movie and book is epic...to say the least.

  • Før thøse......FØR THØSE,

    whø never....WHØ NEVER

    øutgrøw........ØUTGRØW

    the wønder..THE WØNDER.

  • lmao

  • how do you know he is 80 years old ?

  • what's the name of the music at 1'37" ?

  • The Music at 1'37'' is right out of the Movie... Gayane Ballet Suite (Adagio) Aram Khachaturian. Should be on the Originial Soundtrack. And i love it too ;)

  • thank you really much :)

  • If they're on the moon, wouldn't they're steps send them much higher up in the 'air'?
