From: Stephen John Kudlak <FFM at MIT-MC> I think 2001 did a very good job, along with (as you mentioned) Silent Running. Of course, both Silent Running and Alien had good specials, but assumed artificial gravity of some sort. Trivia note: A technical error is seen in 2001 where Floyd is on his way to the moon and drinks through a straw. The liquid (probably viscous) slips down in the straw a couple of inches due to gravity on the drink. This is the only one I noticed, but they didn't attempt any spectacular explosions either. The landing of the Aries stirred up the appropriate dust and it traveled in the appropriate arc, though. FFM
