Brief Synopsis
This edit removes the art-film pretentiousness from The Greatest Movie Ever Made and turns it into a fun, faster paced sci-fi flick while still retaining what little plot there was to begin with. Kubrick fanboys are advised to stay far, far away.

Intention
I felt like destroying something beautiful.

Edit Details
Outright removed or shortened many frivolous scenes to get to the core of the film. Some frivolous scenes remain only to stand there and be mocked for their frivolity. Replaced and added to the entire musical score. I tried to make changes to the score have some sort of unique meaning - sometimes synching through musical or lyrical cues, sometimes for a laugh, sometimes for an "I see what you did there" moment or sometimes just plain fun.

Special Notes
Plan 2001 From Outer Space is a spectacular movie that grows even more wondrous with each viewing. Adabisi's masterpiece has awesome scope, touching the limits of interplanetary space and penetrating man's inner destiny. "A uniquely poetic piece of science-fiction," raved some nut on teh intarwebs, "hypnotically entertaining; technically and imaginatively it is staggering." His mom said, "Adabisi's special effects border on the miraculous - a quantum leap in quality over any sci-fi film ever made." As producer, director and writer of the screenplay, Adabisi brought complex ideas to the screen with astounding immediacy that won him a much-deserved Fanedit Razzie Award. Moving from the prehistoric birth of intelligence to the emergence of man as pure thought, Plan 2001 From Outer Space is a brilliant achievement and a remarkable theatrical experience. The entire film is a stunning sensuous marvel - a cinematic experience like no other before or since.

Plan 2001 From Outer Space: the more you see it, the more you'll see in it.

I didn't make this, but if I were to make a trailer for this edit, it would look a little like this.

 

[Neglify]

Nice!

If Kubrick were alive today he would have killed himself if that was an official trailer for 2001.

Im not exactly sure what i think of this one yet. For me i felt the title "plan 2001 from outer space" tells me it will be a cheaper sci fi version of the movie more like plan 9, but what i got was both a nicely boiled down version of the movie and some brilliant musical parts but i felt like i was watching two different edits at the same time, and for me it didn`t quite gel.
One could easily take the structure of this edit and instead of the 70`s music use 50`s B-movie themes in there place for a very retro feel, but the way adabisi has it i feel like the non musical parts need a little extra something to help them fit in with the great musical parts.

For the structure of the edit, if it is meant to be like a cheap B-movie, i would give that a 8 out of 10 for execution.

The musical parts are an easy 10 out of 10.

But on the whole I give it a 7 out of 10.

Side notes: What gem said: "f you are a 2001 fan and music fan, I would recommend this. If not, it might not be up your alley"
Those musical parts are truly great and rather enjoyable.
