Additional InformationA four-million-year-old black monolith is discovered on the moon, and the government sends a team of scientists on a fact-finding mission while hiding the truth from the public. Later, another team is sent to Jupiter in a ship controlled by the perfect HAL 9000 computer to further investigate the giant object--but something goes terribly wrong. 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY is a masterpiece of filmmaking. Director and coscreenwriter (with Arthur C. Clarke) 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, a marvel of stunning sets and a brilliant soundtrack with the power to overwhelm and mystify. Long dialogue-free scenes sparkle with indelible images and powerful orchestral music, culminating in an unforgettable, inscrutable tale of birth and rebirth, human evolution and artificial intelligence, the past and the future.

  • Brought back many memories

    Had not seen this film for many years, and found it almost as captivating as when I first saw it in the 70s . Purchased to test my new Blu Ray player. Amazing visuals. They don't make em like this anymore.

  • Classic Sci-Fi !

    Saw this at movies when it first came out on a special wrap around screen, well before modern cinemas. Thought I would buy it on Blu-ray and it was well worth it. No CGI and probably the best space movie of all time, looks awesome, feels real, attention to detail is amazing Very clever story by the late Arthur C. Clarke, beautifully directed by Kubrick, thoroughly recommended.
