Verified Purchase:Yes

It is amazing how this movie has held up to scrutiny 50 years after it's initial release. While you would need a huge curved projection screen to recreate the impact this film had while being seen in the super wide screen theaters of the time, this 4K release brings the closest approximation to a home theater set up. Sad that in 2019, we are so far behind Arthur C. Clark's inspiring vision of the future of space exploration.

A great movie.

This was such a well made movie and looked so futuristic for 1967. Things in this movie are still relevant to this day.

Fantastic steelbook with a troubled video transfer

on August 8, 2019

Posted by: SparkSweet

Verified Purchase:Yes

First if all, I really wanted to express how beautiful this glossy steelbook is. In person, it is stunning! However, I cannot end this review before I mention how atrocious the video transfer is of the Dolby Vision 4K blu ray. Blacks are gray and highlights are blown out. Buyer beware.

Fantastic!

Verified Purchase:Yes

I mean, hello. It's one of the greatest movies of all time. It really deserved to get this kind of treatment. Given the age of the source material, the greatest compliment I could give this version is that I never once found myself distracted by the quality of the transfer (video or audio). I mean, no, it's never going to be the latest Jurassic Park 4K transfer, but this in my opinion is the best that 2001 has ever looked on my home theater.
