Hard to believe this movie is 39 years old. It's still regarded as the daddy of SF movies, and though it was eclipsed in publicity terms by the likes of Star Wars, 2001 managed where all others failed. It was taken very seriously as a movie, and not dismissed as a comic book flight of fancy.
When people think of Arthur C Clark they will always think of 2001.

  • Few things more ...

    Few things more boring than verbosity.
    One of the beautiful things about 2001 is that it doesn't need more than minimal dialogue to work brilliantly.

  • Most trailers do. ...

    Most trailers do. It's called hype.
    How many non-SF fans would be inclined to go to a SciFi film billed as "a cerebral dissertaition on the foibles of man?"

    its not bad at all. Its just that this trailer projects the film in a much different way than it actually is by having the narrator speak so often.

  • I saw the movie in ...

    I saw the movie in CINERAMA in Manhattan when I was 7-years old. I was aware that this film was the most advanced and realistic thing I had ever seen depicting actual spaceflight. Now today we have space-shuttles and stations. Only thng missing are the Lunar bases, which would have come if Nixon had'nt axed the NASA budget in 1970... And increased the money for the Vietnam war. We Earth-Humans are more interested in killing each other than exploring outer space. So sad...

    Arthur C. Clark was. It was his writing. Not Kubrick's.
