Items In Movies You Might Be Interested InProduct Details of 2001: A Space Odyssey Special Edition Blu-ray DiscDescription A four-million-year-old black monolith is discovered on the moon, and the government (while hiding the situation from the public) sends a team of scientists on a fact-finding mission. Eighteen months later, another team is sent to Jupiter in a ship controlled by the perfect HAL 9000 computer to further investigate the giant object--but on this trip something goes terribly wrong. 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY is a masterpiece of filmmaking. Director and (with Arthur C. Clarke) co-screenwriter Stanley Kubrick has created a visual and aural spectacle that stands as one of the greatest achievements ever put on celluloid. The film begins with the Dawn of Man segment, about the evolution of apes, and then ventures into the future, taking a look at what the world might be like in the first year of the 21st century. Kubrick's film is a triumph of technological storytelling, with stunning sets and a brilliant, overwhelming soundtrack. Long dialogue-free scenes sparkle with indelible images backed by powerful orchestral music, culminating in an unforgettable, inscrutable tale of birth and rebirth, human evolution and artificial intelligence, the past and the future.

2001: A Space Odyssey Special Edition Blu-ray DiscFantastic in Cinerama. Very accurate in all respects. I must admit I had to buy the book to figure out the ending.

2001: A Space Odyssey Special Edition Blu-ray DiscOther than the presence of the monolith on the Moon and then orbiting Jupiter, the movie was very prophetic in what science advance is concerned. Clarke was a visionary and many of his predictions have come true. Communication satellites, space stations orbiting Earth, artificial gravity by means of centrifugal force, time delay in the interplanetary travels, artificial intelligence, etc....

What are viewers finding confusing?Strengths: the syncronization of music and space station, spacecraft etc. Weakness: scene to long when recovering astronaut Frank Poole Why do people try to figure out what it means and make sense of this movie that is based on Arthur C. Clark's book. It would be the same as making sense of let's say Peter Gabriel's short stories that you can find on some old Albums on the music band "Genesis" for example the Genesis live album or "the lamb lies down on broadway. he point is it's an original unique creative form of artistic...

2001: A Space Odyssey Special Edition Blu-ray DiscFor me this is the best Sci-fi movie ever, Kubrick was a stickler for accuracy, & this is what makes this film for me, I saw this when it first came out in Cinerama, which also helped to convey the vastness of space & the loneliness which Dave Bowman must have felt when searching for his colleague who had just been killed by HAL. The whole point is space is vast & you cannot cross light years of...

2001: A Space Odyssey Special Edition Blu-ray DiscToo many hidden meanings and ambiguity. Then you have the part where you stare at flashing lights fot 9 minutes straight when that dude is going through the timerift near the end. I had to fast forward that part is was so bad. I'm sure this movie was a visual achievement for the 60's, but now its just a long boring mess

2001: A Space Odyssey Special Edition Blu-ray DiscLandmark filmmaking in the sense of daring to bring to the screen Arthur Clarke's provocative futuristic vision. Only Kubrick would have been so adventurous. 'Space Odyssey' was meant to be fully appreciated on the Cinerama screen and, considering that the home theater was far in the future, it is not unlikely that Kubrick would have otherwise conceived it differently today.

2001: A Space Odyssey Special Edition Blu-ray DiscI thought this was so wonderful when it first came out in the 1960's. I was really anxious to see it as I was a great fan of the sci-fi genre. I took Martha to it and she thought it stunk. She wanted to leave early. I wanted to finish the flick. She left and I had to take a cab home! But I digress. A little reflection and introspection goes a long way to expose drivel for what it really is. I'll...

2001: A Space Odyssey
One of the most influential of all sci-fi films -- and one of the most controversial -- Stanley Kubrick's 2001 is a delicate, poetic meditation on the ingenuity -- and folly -- of mankind. TopAdvertisement

2001: A Space Odyssey Special Edition Blu-ray Disc
This film is truly poetry and imagination in motion. Although it is a lengthy movie, and slow moving at first, you are well-rewarded with fantastic visuals (even for today), compelling music, and prophetic vision. Few movies will have as lasting of an impact on you as 2001.
