Summary: When a large black monolith is found beneath the surface of the moon, the reaction immediately is that it was intentionally buried. When the point of origin is confirmed as Jupiter, an expedition is sent in hopes of finding the source. When Dr. David Bowman discovers faults in the expeditionary spacecraft's communications system, he discovers more than he ever wanted to know.

Why this film still holds up in the 2020’s: Kubrick insisted on shooting EVERYTHING on camera originals. Everything was on the first generation. He refused to have generation loss. It was like the “Abbey Road” of movies.

2001’s “optical” process (as I understand it):

  1. shoot an element behind a matte

  2. mark the film frame

  3. take the film out and put it in cold storage

  4. build/paint the set that fills the outer part of the matte using the matte as reference

  5. Put the film back in and shoot the other element of the shot

  6. develop the film
