An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future. When Dr. Dave and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.

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.

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

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

[zgcomps]

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

The ape part is hilarious knowing its just people in costumes

[mewrpuff]

"Creatures resembling an anteater"
Tapirs: 👁👄👁

[noticeddamian]

Don’t even think Kubrick could explain this one.

[emilalbu]

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

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

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

[chrisbo]

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

[BRANDON]

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

[DigitalRobin]

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

[mattstorm]

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

[Leispada]

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

[SilveryBlue]

"The pod approaches the gas giant."

_Later..._

"David travels the lands, deserts, and ocean of Jupiter."

Me: *Hol up-*

[ambientblue-eyedmonkey]

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

[metube]

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”

[jenifhaque]

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.
