people in 1968: surely by 2001 we'd be able to routinely travel to other planets 2021: for the last time, the Earth is ROUND

Totally glossed over the fact that HAL read their lips when they were discussing his potential fate in the pod, which prompted the ensuing homicidal behavior. Also, Dave doesn't go to Jupiter, he goes into the star gate that the monolith opens.

9:45 “no remorse can be seen from the red dot” 💀😂 this made me laugh

This guy just straight up said tapirs are "Creatures resembling anteaters"

The ape part is hilarious knowing its just people in costumes

"Creatures resembling an anteater" Tapirs: 👁👄👁

this was filmed in 1968 btw. The cinematography and the HD in this film was revolutionary. Kubrick modified the cameras himself after studying his whole life. I just love showing someone this film and then saying this was filmed in the late 60's. their expression on their face is priceless

Don’t even think Kubrick could explain this one.

actually "the astronaut" didn't go to the jupiter, he jumped trough space/time to somewhere else, to an unknown planet when he entered the monolith

This movie was WAY ahead of its time.

These sci fi movies are so trippy and I would've never understood the plot if you didn't explain it, if I watched it by all by myself

This one still looks so aesthetically pleasing and futuristic, without any CGI madness. A masterpiece that lasts.

Personally, i would title it "Astronauts Journey To Jupiter Encountering A computer problem."

the mother of all sci-fi films, just imagine in the 1960s watching this masterpiece

" a man jogs along the floor and the ceiling " me: huh? " ..of a circular room " me: oh you ;) and your descriptions

Just realized this guy has been doing this for 3 months and has this much recapped already, yeah my man has a faithful subscriber!

"The pod approaches the gas giant." _Later..._ "David travels the lands, deserts, and ocean of Jupiter." Me: *Hol up-*

You're going to explain an unexplainable movie, I'm all ears.

I realized that the monolith forcefully evolves two different beings in this movie. The ape with the bone realizing what can be done with the tool in his hand and HAL achieving self awareness, making mistakes on his way to true sentience. Both are completely different beings one of flesh and one of electricity, however the monolith gives them both the same chance to evolve. Meaning the aliens either dont understand or care about the differences between the two beings seeing both as similar. Which pretty much establishes the aliens to be unfathomable beings, and the confusing ending I think just plays into this theme that we cannot understand no matter how hard we try. To be honest, to me this makes sense.

40 years old, watched this movie for the first time last night after years of putting it off, scratched my head and BOOM! Recap drops today!

5:00 this is the most poetic you have been with a story recap “a tension weighs them down, more than the heavy space suits they wear”

HAL's name is derived from Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer.

Honestly, this movie is so confusing. Makes interstellar a very easy to understand movie

This channel is perfect for watching movies I want to watch but knew I never was going to.

I remember my dad showing me this movie in the early 1990's. He was very enamored with the possibility of being able to have visual phone conversations with our loved ones and lamented that he would never get to see something like that in his lifetime. Little did he know that the iPhone was just around the corner and would change things forever!

Fun fact: Beach house used this movie to make a music video for their song "Space Song" which is that music that's being played while pedro pascal is laughing then crying

"No remorse can be seen from the red dot" What a Legend.

For years I wander how they made effect with floating pen, without CGI. They glue pen to large glass and rotate glass. And lady that walk upside down - rotating chamber connected to also rotating camera. Actor needed to match rotation speed and enter in precise moment. It took them days to make that scene, and women injure her knees. Masterpiece.

The ending was perfect. It just clarifies that when it comes to beings much more spiritually and technologically advanced than we are, no matter how hard we try, we will never truly be able to grasp or understand...

Many sci-fi movies are inspired by 2001: a space odyssey.

I don't know about u guys, but I sure love to pick bugs off my friends and eat them.

The first time I watched this, I just remember a constant feeling that I was missing something. Hearing someone explain it makes it clear that this movie really was just meant to feel vague and uneasy.

This movie created in 1968. Amazing how some of the futuristic things portrayed in the movie are became a reality now

One of the most influential science-fiction films ever.

I'm in awe at the lighting, dynamics, and camera angels the film crew put together for this film. 2:00 the sun lighting the middle of the pit for the fight 5:00 the room lighting made me feel like i was sitting back there watching them. 10:00 the light casting on his face. I've never seen this movie but i want to watch it now.

Great recap! One of the things you missed though was that HAL was able to read lips, that's how he knew what the two astronauts were talking about when they were trying to hide their conversation from HAL in the pod.

No one: Story recapped: "Creatures resembling anteaters" Tapirs: and I took that personally

“No remorse is seen in the red dot” lol

You would think this movie came out in the 2000's with how it looks. So clean and crisp. Perfection.

This is still one of the greatest movies I have ever seen in my life! So many great shots! It’s still unbelievable that it was shot in 1968. 🤯

Me: Soooooo the monolith is the alien... and changes humans into stars, got it👍🏾 Director: absolutely wrong!!!

Never seen this movie before, pretty trippy.

Now THIS is a masterpiece. Not just classic.

"...and the heavy tension weighs them down more than their spacesuits"--love the casual observations like this

Who else has been binge watching this channel and others like it?

such a great channel! Keep up the good work story recapped, making my day 10x better :D

"The Red Dot showed No Remorse" . . . I freakin love this channel

"... no remorse can be seen from the red dot..." Imagine my shock, hal being unable to express remorse through the lone red bulb...🙄

"Creatures resembling anteaters" Tapirs: Am I a joke to you?

Hands down one of the best films ever made

I wasnt realizing it before, but (re)watching this recap reminded me of the scene from Interstellar movie as Cooper went into the blackhole n found himself inside somekind of tesseract structure is pictured (almost) identical as the one here as he decends onto Jupiter. Maybe those of Interstellar get their ideas from this very scene or they r simply paying tribute to (then mindblowing concept of) Kubrick's 2001:Space Odyssey!?

The prequel to Wall-E is intense.

The movie seemed so interesting, and then that ending just messed it up for me. Glad I watched this instead!

I'm binge watching this channel before sleeping

Best sci-fi movie ever. Can be really boring if you aren’t amped up to watch it.

I always wanted to watch this but I never had time + i completely forgot about it, awesome movie choice!

Anyone notice this is the movie the Futurama episode was based off of when bender sleeps with the ship . The big red eye is in the show !

For those of you who are confused: the ending is intended to be completely ambiguous. You can weave a bunch of different semi-coherent meanings out of it, but none is actually correct. It's purely abstract, and Kubrick has made this clear in interviews.

I’m reading the book. It’s actually nice to listen to this, since it gives me an idea of what to come. Thanks mate.

Great old movies! I hope you'd do more of these, and thank you so much.

This brings a lot of clarity to the movie Interstellar and Interstellar brings a lot of clarity to the end of this movie too. Damn.

I love how you want us to watch out and take care for the space odyssey in 2001

Probably The Best SciFi Movie Ever.

Keep em coming I'll keep watching.

"No remorse can be seen in the red dot" got me dead asff

I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't let you do that

this is the best channel on YT i watch this everyday

Dude, 😍👀I asked you for this and you delivered 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕👀

I was always frustrated that the movie changed it from Saturn in the book to Jupiter in the movie. The interactions of the rings in the book were beautifully described. Would’ve been nice to see on screen.

I still don't understand what happened. He turned into a baby? And then floated back to Earth? As what? Superman?

I can't get enough of these spaces recaps

The fact that the cinematography looks better than most movies in the 80s and 90s.

Watch we are gonna see the mustache man again and i luv it

"I'm going to explain..." ::Popcorn:: This should be interesting.

THIS MOVIE IS EPIC AND A CLASSIC ! ''HAL. . open the pod bay doors''. 'HAL' . .''I can't do that, Dave''.

This videos are very enjoyable, thank you for your time and effort in making them.

9:04 Correction: Dave did see Frank, that's why he went out to space to rescue Frank from death. Also, near the end, it doesn't take a genius to know that when when Dave is traveling through the Stargate and the strange worlds, that is because he neared the obelisk and it is speaking to Dave, and the strange worlds are not Jupiter, they are other worlds. Jupiter does not even have a surface and oceans, and is just a ball of gas and storms. Nobody can go into Jupiter as it would kill you instantly. Fun Fact: The scenes where Dave sees the strange worlds, it's just film captured by the director, Stanley Kubrick's assistant viewed from a helicopter with various filters put over it. The scenes where Dave witnesses nebulae forming and etc. is Kubrick filming drops of various paints and oils dropped in his coffee to make that effect.

( two videos in a day..😯) Story recapped: I can do this all day..

“His calm manner remains, but the frustration, sadness, and fear are evident in his eyes.”

thanks for uploading

My high school library used to have the option to borrow dvds from the school's collection and watch them in the school or at home, I usually watch them in school. And I remember watching this over 3 different times because my ex-gf at that time will end school later than me and we'll meet up after her class. So, each time I watched this, I did not understood what each time was trying to say, because of the time gap between each time. But I remember vividly that I told myself that I need to finish it because I need to know what is happening exactly. And I love it. after many years, I finally watched it in 1 sitting..

I love how an article in the Guardian claims that the SFX of the late 60's were so bad that the Apollo missions couldn't be a hoax. What about this gem: "You would also have to imagine that 2019-era special effects were available to Nasa in 1969 and not one of the 600 million TV viewers noticed anything amiss. Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is a decent indication of what Hollywood special effects could do at the time - and it’s extremely shonky. It genuinely was simpler to film on location." Shonky.

I remember watching this at the drive-in theater way back in 60's

“Peace, serenity, and boredom radiate from the environment.”

Well that was underwhelming I still don’t get what the whole point was 🤔

"2010" - I saw before this movie. Very faithful to the author's original vision of this old book.

As someone who likes spoilers, these recaps help me find new movies to watch 👌🏼 👌🏼

The synopsis misses one crucial factor: the two step into the pod to make sure that HAL can’t hear them talk about HAL’s potential “breakdown” and what to do about it. But you notice there’s a window they’re looking out of toward HAL. There’s a short close-up shot, perspective looking INTO the pod where the two are talking, no sound (for the audience), of their lips moving. HAL knows exactly what they are planning.

"No remorse can be seen from the red dot"

I sincerely believe the lengthy "light show" closer to the end of the movie was done for the benefit of 60's movie goers who dropped acid before watching films. I watched it sober and it still looked 'trippy'. Can only imagine what someone high on acid or shrooms experienced.

Is it just me or has the automated voice narration gotten better and sounds more natural than in older videos??

Stanley Kubrick was a legend.

This movie was AGES Ahead of it's Time....HATS OFF To Director and Story Writer

Never understood what was happening when I seen it glad this is uploaded

I laughed at the title of this video... at first. Summarizing 2001 is a difficult task. I remember my ex asking me to do exactly that. I think I came up with something like ’’visual meditation’’. One of the greatest films ever made.

The director was absolutely on acid making this movie.

"A few strained throats later" is something I didn't think I'd hear today.

This was a film that changed my life when I saw it at a theatre whe I was 14 in 1989. Stanley Kubrick is a wonderful film maker this is still to this day as good as it was then it is the timeless art music that is most important.

thanks! i could never have sat through this one in real time.

But...Jupiter doesn’t have a solid surface..?
