	The 2001: A Space Odyssey Collectibles Exhibit: Introduction
		Space: 1999, a ‘70’s era British TV series, is my all-time favorite science fiction show, partly because its visual style and plot themes bear the unmistakable influence of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
		The Tech’s exhibit, 2001: Destination Space, featured rare collector’s items, actual props and artwork used in the making of the film, and interactive comparisons between the technology postulated in Stanley Kubrick’s classic film and the real science of the new millennium.
		My own home is just such a space, with 2001 artwork, posters, models and other memorabilia greeting visitors at every turn.

	Amazon.co.uk: 2001: A Space Odyssey [1968]: DVD
		There are no simple words to describe 2001: A Space Odyssey, for after what seemed like hours of dreaming of an un-chartered universe, I stepped up from the sofa, only to remember that it was only a film which I had been watching.
		Confirming that art and commerce can co-exist, 2001: A Space Odyssey was the biggest box-office hit of 1968, remains the greatest science fiction film yet made and is among the most revolutionary, challenging and debated work of the 20th century.
		A sequel, 2010: Odyssey Two (1984) followed, while Solaris (1972), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), The Abyss (1989) and A.I. (2001) are all indebted to this absolute classic which towers monolithically over them all.

	Hyperreal § Korova Multimedia 2001: AN AMBIENT LEGACY
		The bet is this: I can make a solid argument that, over 27 years after its release to critical acclaim, Stanley Kubrick's science fiction film, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, continues to be a cutting edge ambient, multimedia accomplishment.
		In 2001, space is accurately depicted as a truly silent vacuum, but Technological Man fills this world with the sound of circulating air systems, humming computers and hissing doors.
		The juxtaposition of the silence of a dying man floating alone in space with an annoying radar scope, insistently chirping away, is about as violent a contrast as one hears in the film; as the dead man drifts into view through the window, the audience senses how alone man is in space.

	The Space Odyssey series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The four novels were written exclusively by Clarke, but with the following caveat: to demonstrate the the interrelated nature of the novel and the film of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Clarke and Kubrick arrived at this solution.
		The Space Odyssey series is a science fiction series of novels and films created from 1953 to 1997 primarily by the science-fiction writer, Arthur C. Clarke and by the film director, Stanley Kubrick.
		Since the stories and settings in the various book and film entries all diverge, Clarke has stated that the continuity of the series represents happenings in a set of parallel universes.

	Arthur C Clarke - Space Odyssey 2001, 2010 etc - VeggieBoards
		Space Odyssey 2001 - I find this a classic and pretty much a vague artistic expression I'll have to rewatch yearly (or so) to see what it inspires in me to think of
		It's nothing compared to 2001; for one thing, there is sound in space in 2010, but not in 2001.
		I was also shocked at hom many of his novels have been turned into movies: Fantastic Voyage (Fantastic Voyage and Inner Space), The Positronic Man (Bi-Centennial Man), and they are making I, Robot now.

		And that's why 2001: A Space Odyssey is a movie that will leave you in stitches long after you watch it--provided you make the effort to understand it.
		The long silent passages in space accompanied only by the sound of breathing are moments of genious which have never been repeated since and without doubt won't be in today's rampant market for high-tech gadget ridden noisy fun-for-all dominated sci-fi genre.
		Because when a monkey threw a bone up in the air so high that it went into space and morphed into a rocket-ship I was done with this garbage.

	2001: A Space Odyssey
		But I doubt that even Kubrick could have envisioned the frenzy of success created by his next film, the science-fiction masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
		Again we are taken from a dramatic high to another scene of majestic beauty, that of the inside of the Discovery space craft, on its way to Jupiter.
		This is perhaps the most gripping scene in the film, and is followed up by one in such dark contrast that it has the ability to make you cry.

		There are some ways that 2001: A Space Odyssey does not fit within the science-fiction genre.

	'2001: A Space Odyssey' - 'Thus Spake Zarathustra'
		'2001: A Space Odyssey' is a landmark, science fiction, classic, epic film containing more spectacular imagery than verbal dialogue.
		As with all of the themes I have been writing about in Crystalinks - '2001: A Space Odyssey' - is based strongly on mythological metaphors and tales.
		In the blackness of space, the pilots of the Pan Am spaceship dock (or penetrate with) the phallic craft - through the aid of graphic read-out screens that must constantly be monitored - in the spoke-hub of the gigantic, circular, revolving space station - a symbol of an egg - almost like a copulatory act.

		The film 2001: A Space Odyssey was a work of genius and deep ambiguity.
		Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 motion picture 2001 depicted a world in which our country had an operating moon base and a huge rotating space station.

	2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
		Much of the film is in dead silence (accurately depicting the absence of sound in space), or with the sound of human breathing within a spacesuit.
		The film initially opened to hostile, unsympathetic, negative or indifferent critical reviews (it was criticized for being boring and lacking in imagination), and 19 minutes were cut from the film after premieres in Washington, New York, and Los Angeles.
		The film's title was chosen because it was the first year of the new Millenium and of the next century.

	2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
		Bluntly, 2001 is one of the best science-fiction films made to date, if not the very best.
		Aside from the magnificent display of ingenious special effects, there are other factors that play a part in establishing the feel of the film.
		While it is a long film, and sometimes slows down, it has to be in order to accurately portray the journey of man. It's not a subject that would have faired well in a shorter film, faster paced feature.

		We are transported on a space journey in 2001, when a scientist flies to the moon to examine another mysterious monolith.
		This aside, Odyssey is not a film to be taken lightly - it looks fantastic and makes you think the unknowable about life beyond earth.
		The long wait to see Odyssey blast its way onto the big screen was worth it, having only ever seen it on video.

	Amazon.com: 2001 - A Space Odyssey (1968): DVD
		The book 2001,A Space odessey is a glance at the world from a different point of view.
		This is no mean accomplishment when you realize that Kubrick made his film before humans actually walked on the moon in 1969, and furthermore, when you consider how much more we now know about space travel and how much more advanced special effects have become.
		Real space ships must be as small as possible to save fuel and they are incredibly cramped.

		If you were going to be 18 months out into space on the way to Jupiter, you had to be one of the most mentally tough and accomplished human beings on the face of the planet.
		All this stuff about space was just the greatest stuff in the world and the reality of the physics that Kubrick paid attention to, I appreciated so much.

	Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey
		Dan Richter played the character Moonwatcher in 2001: A Space Odyssey and choreographed the film’s well-known “Dawn of Man” sequence.
		According to Leonard F. Wheat, Stanley Kubrick's 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey tells three hidden stories: Homer's The Odyssey; a spoofy tale based on science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke's idea of man-machine symbiosis; and Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra (Also sprach Zarathustra, 1883-1891, 4 volumes).
		For him, the movie is a triple allegory, three allegories (metaphorically or symbolically told hidden stories) combined in one surface story.

		Some people think "2001: A Space Odyssey" is all about food; others think it is a parable about evolution; others consider the monolith to be a religious icon.
		I believe that most people for whom this film "clicks" are able to find it relevant in some way to their own lives or experience, and "internalise" a meaning even if it is impossible to explain to others (or even themselves).
