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." Stanley Kubrick 1922 - 1999.

i am a sri lankan and have met arther c clarke.what kubrick did was just genios.i was 12 when my dad took me to watch this.i was mesmerized.thx for a great post.kubrick rules.
after years of hearing about this film i went down to the local cinema where they were playing it ....i have never been so entertained in the movie world before .....amazing film and a fantastic soundtrack......came out of the cinema knowing i had seen one of the best films to date ....what a masterpiece!!!!!!!!
People always seem to demonize CGI as this evil technology. Don't get me wrong, I thing that the special effects here are awesome. I'm just saying, CGI has revolutionized special effects, and is great as long as it isn't the focus of the film.
I think were it possible to have more of a dissolve from the thigh (?) bone to the space station it would have been a much cooler sequence. Demonized as it is, CGI would have made that possible.
Still gives me the tingle factor... What a stroke of audio / visual genius marrying these two masterpieces together. Remember seeing the film all those years ago in London - on the old three screen set up (Cinemascope I think...?). A classic film...Thanks for posting MetalApe...
