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!!

This blu ray edition of 2001 is amzing and gorgeous to behold! I've owned previous versions of 2001 on dvd and this one looks
and sounds the best out of the ones I've seen. Alot has been said about the story so I'll skip that part. The dvd has some great
extras that provide more insight into the movie that I haven't seen before. A true classic that deserves the hd treatment and the
blu ray price is unbeatable!
"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"

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!
I think this is a movie everybody should see at least once. Not since the movie Toys have I seen such wonderful use of color and set design in a movie.
It's much more like an art film than Toys though. We see long and very quiet scenes, screen shots of random colors flying by, close-ups of eyes, a character walking around a strange room in solitude, and Toys doesn't have any of that.
But 2001 isn't completely an art film either, because the scenes are loosely connected together to form some form of plot and the budget to produce the film was obviously quite high. So 2001 is more or less a hybrid between traditinal cinema and independent art films. And you know something? I think it works. For the first viewing at least.
If you want to watch it again, I recommend using the scene selection screen to skip the longer build up parts and go straight to the good stuff, like the especially creepy monolith scenes. They seemed very religious to me.
