Verified Purchase:Yes

Kubrick is an absolute genius, and "2001" is arguably his best film. If you're a fan of cinema, and you've never seen this movie then you're no true fan.

A Well-Done Space Odyssey

on January 7, 2017

Posted by: CWLW

For the first 4 minutes you are greeted by an Overature of the films sound-track themes followed by The Dawn of Man with a pan of an arid landscape with apes fighting each other. When a monolith appears the apes become agitated and curious. The age of discovery begins and fast-forwards to colonized space and the Blue Danube Waltz. 1 Hour 28 Minutes into the film a 2 minute Intermission with sound-track-accompaniment. 2001 is perhaps one of the best visual and sound-track stories ever produced on film and it is in a sense a highly “artful” cinema that you will want to return to. It is a highly satisfying view and its ending also greets you with a 2 Minute sound-track for Exit Music.

2001, made in 1968, was "ahead of its time"

on January 14, 2017

Posted by: 80sTVWatcher

Verified Purchase:Yes

Visually, 2001 is a tour-de-force, nearly 50 years old now (premiered in 1968) but still alive with imagery that stimulates the mind in many ways. Kubrick's detailed direction keeps it going. The problem is the lack of dialogue (nothing for the first 30 minutes) and a complicated unsaid understory about the slow 4 million year evolution of man vs the rapid rise of computer "intelligence" and the power to make decisions. The final flight through the universe has never been repeated in the history of film. Watch it - and watch it again.

Fantastic movie, especially in this format!

Kubrick was a master movie-maker and it was brilliant for him to work with the author, Arthur C. Clarke, to bring this story to the silver screen and the Blu-Ray version definitely does it justice. Excellent!
