Great space movie! Kubrick did a great job with this movie. Will probably take multiple viewings but well worth it.

Classic Movie

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is a classic movie that has held up over time. It can be a little slow paced at the start. Looks great on Blu-ray.

Amazing film that makes you think

on September 27, 2016

Posted by: Moviefan

Verified Purchase:Yes

Many years since it was first exhibited, this film still is very relevant to the key elements of science fiction. Space, time travel, aliens and so on.

Spoiler alert -> It is a film that makes you think, so it will give you pieces of the puzzle instead of spoon feeding you with the plot.

Unique

on October 19, 2016

Posted by: jmac4th

Verified Purchase:Yes

This is a classic, with Kubrick at the height of his artistic powers. This is still one of the very best depictions of space travel as it actually would be any time in the foreseeable future. It's almost unique in its authenticity. And still it presents a stark beauty not buried by the technology it depicts.
The cinematography is gorgeous. The soundtrack of Classical pieces meshes with the imagery in a flawless manner. This despite the fact the soundtrack was only supposed to be a placeholder for an original score that was never added. That just underscores the care with which Kubrick constructed this film.
This would all be for naught if the story or characters were not engaging or well developed. They are the equal of the films visual mastery. I remember watching '2001' in its original 70MM release and being stunned. I had never seen anything like it, and have still seen little that rivals it.
And, of course, almost every out of control computer in cinema can trace its lineage back to HAL. I still get a lump in my throat when (spoiler alert) HAL meets his fate.

Fantastic Kubrick movie. Special effects were fantastic for the time. Other movies would be hard pressed to equal.

This is a Stanley Kubrik classic (like most of his films). The imagery is dynamic and ahead of its time. If you don't own this film, get it!
