Kubrick was looking at returning to the sci-fi genre and was always asking Spielberg about developments in CGI. He had amassed a lot of pre-production material for the film "AI," which he died before making. We can't say the film was what Kubrick was headed for, but a lot of the pre-production design was "in the can" at the time of his death. Adam Savage has said his work on the submerged remains of New York was done from Kubrick's work, not Spielberg's. Best wishes from Vermont!

I agree re CGI vs practical effects, although it should be noted that many scenes in Kubrick's film, similar to the ones shown in the video, never show the spacecraft or space station set directly "atop" certain backgrounds because the SFX process involved would have otherwise created an annoying and very visible "aura" around the object being overlaid on what showed in the background. This is where CGI could have stepped in to erase the "aura". Smart directors these days (I'm thinking Christopher Nolan here) use what's best for realism. He was lauded for his brilliant use of practical effects in Dunkirk... but he also applied some CGI and in a way that you wouldn't notice it.

On a recent airline flight, I happened to take a glance into the cockpit. There I saw the consoles that were used by the pilots. Unlike the array of mechanical gauges, lights, and switches that made up the controls of an airliner in my teenage years, I saw a much simpler console with an LCD screen . I was struck by the similarity between the screen used in that airliner and the control screen used in the lunar lander scene in 2001. I am old-ish.

My parents purchased an LP with the music from the movie. The cover had a very striking painting of the space station with the Pan Am shuttle synchronizing itself to the landing bay. One of the things that I noticed in my many hours of staring at that painting was that there were tiny workers in space suits tethered to the struts and girders of the new wheel under construction. I do not know if they appeared in the movie, but they were part of the vision. When making a CGI of this type, it might be worthwhile to add those little men, as well as the small flashes of welding torches as the unfinished wheel falls into shadow. These kinds of effects can really drive home to scale of that habitat ring.

God forbid some moron with a budget decides to “update” or “reimagine” Kubrick by doing a “more realistic” version of 2001, calling it “2100: (Whatever)”, using AI to follow, say, Clarke’s novelization to the letter, with current knowledge, butchering the work. I saw the film in Cinerama in Chicago back in ‘68 and have never lost the awe.

To be honest, sometimes practical effects will be a lot better than CGI, because human got some very sensitive eyes that can recognize if something is real or not. 2001’s visual is not perfect, the lighting is not exactly right and the planets are painted, that’s why it looks a little plain and has no movement. Despite that, with the help of many talented visual artists they managed to render the whole scene beautifully without too much things that trigger our eyes to find something unusual. However, today’s production don’t really do practical effects anymore because it cost money. Nowadays movies have full of complex rendered CGI all over the place. It doesn’t feel the same when compare to the practical scene like this.

Yes, you experienced 2001 in Cinerama. I also saw 2001 in Cinerama in 1968. Most fantastic experience. I was 13 and the movie literally changed my worldview. I became a spacecraft communications engineer in no small part to the space program and the movie 2001.
All space travel should be accompanied by this glorious music, lovely to watch, well done
Love the way the PanAm ship rolls in perfect sync with the space station. Noted it long ago when the movie first played. Kubrick was a genius. I never tire of watching these scenes which are rendered so well by the addition of the Blue Danube.

Kubrick was looking at returning to the sci-fi genre and was always asking Spielberg about developments in CGI. He had amassed a lot of pre-production material for the film "AI," which he died before making. We can't say the film was what Kubrick was headed for, but a lot of the pre-production design was "in the can" at the time of his death. Adam Savage has said his work on the submerged remains of New York was done from Kubrick's work, not Spielberg's. Best wishes from Vermont!

I agree re CGI vs practical effects, although it should be noted that many scenes in Kubrick's film, similar to the ones shown in the video, never show the spacecraft or space station set directly "atop" certain backgrounds because the SFX process involved would have otherwise created an annoying and very visible "aura" around the object being overlaid on what showed in the background. This is where CGI could have stepped in to erase the "aura". Smart directors these days (I'm thinking Christopher Nolan here) use what's best for realism. He was lauded for his brilliant use of practical effects in Dunkirk... but he also applied some CGI and in a way that you wouldn't notice it.

You're going by this? Seriously?
On a recent airline flight, I happened to take a glance into the cockpit. There I saw the consoles that were used by the pilots. Unlike the array of mechanical gauges, lights, and switches that made up the controls of an airliner in my teenage years, I saw a much simpler console with an LCD screen . I was struck by the similarity between the screen used in that airliner and the control screen used in the lunar lander scene in 2001. I am old-ish. And every so often I will see or hear or experience something and say to myself "I live in 'the Future'"

The view of earth and the moon were better here than with the original. The miniatures they used on the original had more definition than this CGI.
My parents purchased an LP with the music from the movie. The cover had a very striking painting of the space station with the Pan Am shuttle synchronizing itself to the landing bay. One of the things that I noticed in my many hours of staring at that painting was that there were tiny workers in space suits tethered to the struts and girders of the new wheel under construction. I do not know if they appeared in the movie, but they were part of the vision. When making a CGI of this type, it might be worthwhile to add those little men, as well as the small flashes of welding torches as the unfinished wheel falls into shadow. These kinds of effects can really drive home to scale of that habitat ring.
I WAS IN 4th GRADE IT WAS 1969 THIS FILM 🎥 WAS SO OPTIMISTIC TO WHAT THE FUTURE WOULD BE LIKE 💯💯💯💯💥👍. PAN AM WAS THE BEST PART FOR ME, I RETIRED FROM DELTA AIRLINES!!!
This is such a compelling CGI exploration! Well done.
I went with the Family to see 2001 when it came to the theaters! It blew me away! Even today, the original SFX are still quite convincing! Note: of course, flat screen technology was non-existent back then, what they did was to hand-animate the displays, then project it from behind!!! Also, Early Star Trek veteran Gary Lockwood is featured in 2001!!!

Fantastic CGI Effects Make 2001 A Space Odyssey 1968 Ever Better!😯🚀🛰🌌🪐🌕🌑🇺🇲
Ah, to be able to like a video more than once! I remember talking to a man who ran a projector in the military. He said that the scene of the docking made him forget about the projector.
Well done and a nice homage. I would add though it doesn't quite capture the look, feel, and in my view, the magic of the original . But, what could?
How many kids were inspired to go into aerospace careers because of this film? If Kubrick never did another film, this alone would have made him immortal.
I was 13 when it was released. Wish I could have seen it in Cinerama. Leaving the theater, I looked forward to (the then distant) year of 2001, fully expecting to have a "Space Station V" and Lunar Bases. By the early 70's though most of that hope had been abandoned, as all the knowledge and infrastructure had been mothballed or simply thrown away.
I saw in a "Cinemascope" theater in June, 1968, when I was 12 & thought this is as close as I will ever to space. Although, I agree with Tamalain's comment as to practical effects, congratulations to you are in order; I concur VERY WELL DONE.

Nice work! On occasion, I think it would be cool to update the original film with better effects. But then, you might as well do the same with Gone With The Wind; both films are classics that stand on their own. God forbid some moron with a budget decides to “update” or “reimagine” Kubrick by doing a “more realistic” version of 2001, calling it “2100: (Whatever)”, using AI to follow, say, Clarke’s novelization to the letter, with current knowledge, butchering the work. I saw the film in Cinerama in Chicago back in ‘68 and have never lost the awe.
Beautiful work!

Good work. I like the way part of the middle "axle" of the space station is rotating faster than the rest, 2:43.
3:44 I notice you repeated the same mistake Kubrick made: from the viewpoint of the station facing the incoming shuttle, the rotation is clockwise. Yet when the view switches to the inside of the docking bay a few seconds later, the stars are rotating clockwise, which means the station is spinning the other way.
The original analog version was pretty popular. Why would the CGI version be any better? Now I know.
Thank you everyone for the great feedback!!

This is nothing but a hugely respectful homage to a genius. Kubrick is among my favourite half dozen film directors of all time.
Good job!
As someone who worked for Kubrick I think he would have been happy to replace some of the scenes with improved CGI versions. Superior visuals need not distract ftom the story.

To be honest, sometimes practical effects will be a lot better than CGI, because human got some very sensitive eyes that can recognize if something is real or not. 2001’s visual is not perfect, the lighting is not exactly right and the planets are painted, that’s why it looks a little plain and has no movement. Despite that, with the help of many talented visual artists they managed to render the whole scene beautifully without too much things that trigger our eyes to find something unusual. However, today’s production don’t really do practical effects anymore because it cost money. Nowadays movies have full of complex rendered CGI all over the place. It doesn’t feel the same when compare to the practical scene like this.

As a physical effect, completed in the late 1960's this scene was and IS extremely impressive. The effects on that film have held up magnificently. As a CGI project produced 55 years later..... Not so much. This version looks flat, lifeless and plastic. I applaud your ambition, BUT if you are going to take on one of the TRUE classics of cinema, Of science fiction, AND of the physical effects artist's craft, you had better be able to bring a LOT more than this to the table.

Not long ago, the episodes of the original _Star Trek_ were remastered with CGI and images that were cleaned up. I wonder if MGM will take a chance at remastering _2001._. In 1968, we did not know what the surfaces of Jupiter's largest moons looked like. No telescope on Earth was strong enough. Now we do, and they ought to superimpose the graphics of those surfaces into the film. Damn shame we don't have any of those objects built yet, or a base.

Modern films that are CGI love fests (with remarkably un-special effects) DO take hundreds of people as you stated. Just look at the list of animators in the credits of any movie made today. It's one of the reasons why films cost so much now. "Moon", for example, proved that miniature FX can be done far less expensively, need far fewer people, and look as good or better than CGI-laden productions. The best use of CGI is to augment some problems inherent in miniature photography like scale problems with water, fire, etc.
