Your spectacular special effects made 2001: A Space Odyssey believable, launching your own thought-provoking, directorial debut with the conscientious Silent Running.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind followed, redefining the look and feel of interstellar craft, giving the historic event hefty, Disney-esque pizzazz.
With the noir-ish Blade Runner, you flipped the lid, showing us beauty through dystopian fear; with Brainstorm, the voyage touched the same duality, though sprung from the mind.
Your team-up with John Dykstra took your visionary style to even more expansive heights in Star Trek--The Motion Picture: a kaleidoscopic triumph for the greatest, science-fiction franchise of all time.
You were the pioneer builder of intricate, cinematic dreams. Thank you for being there, Mr. Trumbull, for giving us imagery that has become the indelible magic of our lives.
