"2001 - A Classic"
2009-11-16

'THE' original Sci-Fi Flick.
2001 has been used as a template for almost all future movies such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien etc...etc..
1960's Special effects are better than many current movies.
HAL is the real star.
Only drag is the hallucinogenic scene - it is too long.
"A Classic!!"

2001 is a classic film that is truly amazing at it's best!!
Stanley Kubrick knows how to make a great and interesting film that is also colorful, yet it still steers right onto the path of realism and fantasy.
I recently purchased 2001 on Blu Ray and I will say that the picture quality is amazing and the colors are even better than ever!!
It's truly a classic that deserves to be watched again and again!!
5 stars for blu ray quality!!
"Decent 1.5 hour movie trapped inside a 2.5 hour movie"
I really wanted to enjoy this movie. I love science fiction and enjoyed Kubrick's "The Shining". Unfortunately, the movie seemed much too long for what it contained. The scenes of the astronauts on the spaceship with HAL were very interesting and largely ahead of its time. What would happen if a computer with artificial intelligence was left in control? What if a computer developed its own ideas and was in fact sentient? It would certainly be amazing and rather helpful; however, it also has the possibility to be rather dangerous. The astronauts' mission itself was intriguing also, even if its conclusion was puzzling. People have discovered a mysterious monolith which is millions of years old. Its purpose and origin are unknown.
This entire story could probably be done comfortably within a 1.5 hour movie; unfortunately, this movie is 2.5 hours. The scenes with the apes were too extended. While I enjoyed the music and like good cinematography set to classical pieces, I thought it was overused. A few sequences like that sprinkled throughout the movie would've been sufficient. As it was, there were many like this leading up to the scenes with HAL. And whatever meaning there might be behind the scene with the myriad colors, it did not need to be that long.
"Amazing video for a visual/spiritual film"

Looking to a blu-ray film like this I think how some films shot today can still have a bad video quality. And when the industry will stop to sell DVDs. 2001 is a visual movie that make us think about what we are, from where we came and where we are going to, if the machines will make us slaves, if there is ETs, Gods ... The frontal scene when the man/monkey breaks the bones on the ground with a bone in his hand is one of the most intense and unforgottable scenes I ever saw in a movie.The voice of HAL is frightening. The colors and the light of some shots are amazing. And this blu-ray has legends in Portuguese!!! And, how any intelligent people know the man NEVER put his foot on the moon, I am shure that in 1969 (one year after this movie was finished) NASA had the contribuition of a director with similar capacity of Stanley Kubrick to show the world the biggest lie ever told.

So, Who would have thought that Kubrick's classic, from 1968 could look and sound this good. The original was filmed in 70mm which allowed for a great conversion to blu-ray. Also the audio on this BR comes to you in LOSSLESS 5.1 quality. Worth the whole $8.99 and then some.
"Best Version of this Film"
2009-10-06

I have owned several versions of this movie over the years and this Blu-Ray release is by far the best. Picture quality is terrific and the visual effects in the film look amazing even by today's standards.
Watching this makes me realize how far ahead of its time this movie was. There was nothing like it back then nor has there been anything really like it since. Great sci-fi film at a great price!
