* ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'': The film follows the Manifesto while (ironically) the book by [[Arthur C. Clarke]] does not by (catch this) leaving the events ''more'' ambiguous. Because it's not clear that the events following David Bowman's encounter with the monolith are literally happening or are all just in his head, Kubrick's version slips by, while Clarke's (in which it's clear he's literally transported to other star systems) is more dubious (although the aliens who did it ''are'' [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens|sufficiently advanced]]).

It ''appears'' to be FTL, because characters millions of kilometers away will be carrying on a casual conversation without any time lag, but this may just be for the audience's convenience. The characters could in fact have been waiting around for minutes at a time for their friends to respond to their messages ''offscreen''. On the other hand, it's unclear whether FTL communication is covered by the dogma in the first place (there are several well-known theoretical ways for
