About this deal

There are a few patches of silence, especially in the first half of the film where the two actors weren’t involved with the shoot. The characters are painfully naturalistic, relationships are cold and unnerving, and the ending is vague and experimental. The team went back to the original 6-channel soundtrack and faithfully transferred it to the theatrical prints and home release DTS-HD, with strong bass response and clear and striking highs for a sweeping high fidelity experience - especially with the symphonic classics and the haunting vocals for the black monolith sequences.

One of the film's most memorable aspects is its unique sound design, its innovative use of classical music and the lack thereof during certain scenes.

All three are housed in a black, eco-cutout case within a sturdy, side-sliding cardboard box, which includes four collectible postcards and a glossy, twenty-page booklet with various production stills. Clarke) fi rst visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millennia (via one of the most mind-blowing jump cuts ever) into colonized space and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into immortality. Fifty years later, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey remains a hypnotic, seminal sci-fi masterpiece of visual storytelling that continues to inspire, dumbfound and challenge.

There’s an animal-level dependence to exist, to power over something they perceive is below them, and try to lead their way for every main character we see onscreen.

Kubrick picked the best of other ideas and compiled this 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.In contrast (pun 100% intended), the Blu-ray offers perfect mastering, with balanced bright and dark areas plus a gorgeous HDR effect. To be blunt, the film demands a level of engagement and intelligence from its audience that's truly rare in modern filmmaking.

If you are an intelligent film lover who looks beyond the quick thrill quick fix movie ala "The Mummy" and its countless sequels but look instead at good storytelling and character development as well as innovative, in contains correct picture aspect ratio as it was scanned directly from the 65mm original negative which is spherical (flat) versus anamorphic (scope).One last thing to say here is that if you own a Dolby Vision TV, you can benefit from one of the most impactful Dolby Vision transfers yet. Better still, 2001 isn’t just some throw away Sci-Fi because it’s also far ahead of its time (in some ways even it was today) as it’s also accurate in its scientific depictions of life in space, in both a technical and human sense. DLP powers next-generation 3D gaming devices, high tech heads-up telematics and of course the most impactful projectors on the planet. With subsequent viewings and exposure to the more demanding but wonderful Russian movie, Solaris, I came to realise that the significance of this section was a depiction of an encounter between humanity and something way beyond it's comprehension, and that such an encounter might not be describable in terms of any conventional narrative. estimation correctly) seen as at least a spark of inspiration for what 2001: A Space Odyssey ultimately became.
