And here the "Mother" (well the real mother is probably "Metropolis") of all Science Fiction Movie Special Visual Effects: Stanley Kubricks "2001 - A Space Odysee" from 1968. All seen here is of course handmade. All photographic effects, no CGI. And all SFX Scenes from the Movie are cut toghether in full length and in chronological order.

The Music in PART2of4 at 1:20 and 6:42 is 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!

Because it's more than 36 Minutes of FX, including the "changing Dimensions" FX, i had to split in into 4 parts. And don't adjust your volume when there's nothing to hear. It's meant that way ;)

Quote Wikipedia: "I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. I intended the film to be an intensely subjective experience that reaches the viewer at an inner level of consciousness, just as music does; to „explain" a Beethoven symphony would be to emasculate it by erecting an artificial barrier between conception and appreciation. You're free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film -- and such speculation is one indication that it has succeeded in gripping the audience at a deep level -- but I don't want to spell out a verbal road map for 2001 that every viewer will feel obligated to pursue or else fear he's missed the point."
