A great scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), a spaceship approaching the space station**
AudioSwap had to be used but the song is the same as in the original scene (the blue danube)

I've never seen anything like this movie; Kubrick absolutely nailed it with the scenes and the score from Straus II.

God, me and my fellow kubrick admirers have one wish.

Take Michael Bay, and give us back Stanley Kubrick. Cinema needs him now more than ever.

Another amazing bit of futurism that Kubrick absolutely NAILED way back in 1967, was the flat screen monitors, which are seen on the shuttle, as well as the Discovery. Unfortunately, the stupid sequel messed it up with these ginormous Sony cathode Ray television monitors. Kubrick also foresaw the IPAD. Note the tablets that Dave Bowman and Frank Poole use on the Discovery. Finally, Kubrick envisioned the use of Computer Graphics for the flight controls displays (although they were animations)

1968 my ass

What has amazed me in the past fifteen or twenty years about this movie is that it does not really look all that hokey today. I saw it at the theater when I was 15 YO and I will be 59 in about 55 hours.

@ndolan943redux ya barry lyndon by stanley is so fucking underrated, it makes me wanna cut my own balls off. you know? and fuck transformers, fuck it in the ass.

Absolutely nailed it is right. More than just the excellent effects, and creative ides about what earth orbit would be like, he even anticipated the back-of-seat TV screens we now know on airliners today. But I can tell you - nothing, at all, was envisioned like that back in 1968. Visionary.

man Kubrick really loves classical music. Just listen to the classics he uses in A Clockwork Orange.

good quality but why is it flipped horizontally?

awesome though, this is now on my 2 year old sons' entertainment playlist..

kubrick's genius=greatest special effect.

Kubrick proves that visual effects and technology mean little. the way he uses wide lenses and slow pans and music in this sequence is more genius than watching 5000 million highly detailed robots duke it out. this is what a true master of the visual can do. use the lenses and camera to his advantage.
