Product Description

Stanley Kubrick’s dazzling, Academy Award® -winning* achievement is a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke) first visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever) into colonised space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into immortality. “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.” Let an awesome journey unlike any other begin. SPECIAL FEATURES Commentary by Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood • Channel Four Documentary 2001: The Making of a Myth 4 Insightful Featurettes: Standing on the Shoulders of Kubrick: The Legacy of 2001 Vision of a Future Passed: The Prophecy of 2001 • 2001: A Space Odyssey – A Look Behind the Future • What Is Out There? 2001: FX and Early Conceptual Artwork • Look: Stanley Kubrick! Audio-Only Bonus: 1966 Kubrick Interview Conducted by Jeremy Bernstein • Theatrical Trailer

This was the absolute peak of cinematic special effects technology when it came out a million years ago. It's still fun to watch and brings back many memories, but I had forgotten how incredibly slow it is. It's worth the ride, but bring your imagination and lots of patience if you want to watch it.

Spectacular in blu-ray. Thus Spake Zaratustra (the opening theme) is fantastic in blu-ray audio and the space scene literally jump off the screen so that the viewer thinks he/she is there. I heartily recommend this version of 2001 to anyone who has seen it on DVD. You'll be in for a real treat.

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018

This movie was/is such a major classic and it really benefits here on the BluRay version compared to the original VHS and then standard DVD releases. If you own the previous releases you probably viewed them on pre HD TV sets. When viewing those releases on HD TV devices, production flaws become very obvious (even though the movie was extremely modern for the time it was made, and was beyond all previous films of the like). This version is extremely pleasing and many of the production flaws seem invisible. An upgrade to this version will satisfy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic from a different time
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2021
Verified Purchase
The film took 4 years to create, produce and release. It was misunderstood by the initial audience. It eventually became a hit movie in 1968. The film, I believe, was John Lennon's favourite at the time. This film is open to many interpretations, and here is mine for what it's worth. The film '2001: a Space Odyssey' I. m. h. o runs on these two ideas. The physical distances in the story; Africa, Moon, Jupiter, and galactic travel are increasingly distant, and thus how small humankind is in the scheme of things. The second idea is the film flowing is the portrait of an old man dreaming, from the start to the end of this movie.

The initial shots of the movie in Africa were shot, not with a movie camera, but with a top-notch Hasselblad stills camera. The structure of this film is that when the monolith on the African plain is placed with the apes, its physical symbol of the first logical thought by the apes, these being the size ratios of the squares of the first three integers, 1:2:3, (1:4:9). This being symbolic of the logically changing from eating plants to eating meat. These changes increase our brain structure and our likelihood to survive more than other animals. The film has the biggest jump-cut in movie history. With hundreds of thousands of years. And when the same monolith on the moon is uncovered, this was this time an alarm to be sent to the sentient beings that humankind had reached the technological milestone of interplanetary flight.

The first 65 or so minutes of this movie is a guided exploration of the growth of technology. Kubrick was very interested in the new technologies. It gives this movie its technology backbone. And including the use of the animal bone to kill the Tapier. Such as on the space station, a video telephone, bank cards, Security methods with voice print verification, the space shuttle, velcro shoes to enable walking in zero G. and the space wheel simulating gravity. There are three charming vignettes, of people having birthdays and interacting with technologies. The young daughter, of Dr Heywood Floyd, Chairman of the United States National Council of Astronautics. And the astronaut, Dr. Frank Poole. Another is the same astronaut, Dr. Frank Poole, playing chess with HAL. The technology of the single occupancy E.V.A. vehicle is realistic and impressive. Another forecast is the massive video screens. The two moon - shuttle stewardesses watch Judo, on what we would say now is on a wide-screen television, showing its multi-cultural backgrounds to these technologies. Also, the explosion of the number of digital channels. Such as, when a recording of an interview of these two astronauts on the Discovery ship, is played, they both see it on a tablet-like device. And on channel BBC12. Stanley Kubrick liked filming 'impossible' shots; such as astronauts standing in differing orientations to each other in the same scene. And the difficulties of landing the space shuttle into the rotating space wheel station. The design of the space transport of passengers system; the space shuttle up to the space station. The craft from the space station to the moon, is a more economical and viable method, even if never built in reality. It's an elegant design and is Soviet. When compared with the real Saturn V rocket Americans built in reality one - way with only three passengers. This isn't economic. Also, the electrical circuit testing system when the crew is testing the faulty AE35 unit is similar to the present electronic simulator 'Spice'. And of course the sentient A.I. computer 'Hal'. If you are interested in the philosophical possibility of science and technology as described in the film, I can recommend the following book, 'Hal's Legacy' by Stork. The technological breakdown of H.A.L is discussed in the movie '2010: The Year We Made Contact' and it covers this well. About 50% of the predictions seem to have held true. It's more interesting when you consider that even low-tech items at the time of the movie were sci-fi, such as cellophane for sandwiches, and bank cards! The absence of PCs in this mainframe world is an oversight.

Most of the music in this film is also its academic backbone. It's avant-garde at times and beautiful. In another differingly world - way. The opening of the spacecraft accompanied by the 'Blue Danube' is just exquisite, delightful and of true art in cinema.

Kubrick picked the best of other ideas and compiled them into his movies, such as the strange music from 'Forbidden Planet', and the lack of editing in many scenes that go on for several minutes. And the long silences in 2001 are inspired by the movie, 'The Heros of Telemark'.And the space wheel by the V2 rocket designer, Von Braun. This to a fresh audience of younger age can seem off-putting and a drag.

Its ending is uniquely beautiful and beyond words, it's a visual experience. This connection when Discovery reaches Jupiter, those living are sent through interstellar flight via a cosmic 'motorway' to be examined. Other crafts, in the shape of Octahedrons, are using this transport system too. This can be seen with many cryptic communication indication signs during its journey. It’s a portrait of the infinite size of the universe by the sheer travelling over the time used to show these shots. And how strange to our eyes the universe is. The ending is not obvious. The long dream that has been the film's flowing structure has finally caught up with the present. The interstellar trip Bowman has undertaken is a parallel with the long journey of all of us take in life and living. This last night alive of an astronaut, in elegant rooms, dying in his bed. He thought, if all of this I have recalled is outstanding, then - with the Starchild appearing - think what our offspring may be capable of? It's a positive hope for the future of mankind and interplanetary travel.

* BONUS MATERIAL!!

I, accidentally discovered, that the Blu-ray edition of this movie has several related topics for 2001 anoraks. Press the TOP MENU button on your Blu-ray player handset to access these hidden video files. They are as follows; Commentary by Actors, 2001:Making of the Myth, Standing on the Shoulders of Kubric, Vision of the Future Passed, 2001: a Look Behind the Future, What is Out There? 2001; FX and Early Concepts, Look at Stanley Kubrick, Interview with Stanley Kubrick, Original 2001: a Space Odyssey Trailer, online sites.

* Technical

I had to update my previous Blu-ray player firmware to play this disk. My current Blu-ray player is a Panasonic DMP-BD84 and it's superb reproduction in both sound and vision. My Toshiba 32" and Harmon Kardon 2.1 sound system does a great job of this film.

Ahora bien, la edición tiene esta cubierta de cartón con HAL, pero que realmente se quita y es la misma de siempre, pero es un poco más cara de lo que debería.
