2001: en romodyssé

1968 • 148 minutter

Om denne filmen

Stanley Kubricks blendende, Oscar®-belønnede mesterverk er et fengslende drama om menneske mot maskin. Først tar Kubrick (som skrev filmmanuset sammen med Arthur C. Clarke) oss med tilbake til menneskehetens forhistoriske «apeperiode», og så hopper han (med et av tidenes mest imponerende kutt) fremover i tid og inn i verdensrommet, hvor menneskene nå har bosatt seg. Til slutt slynges astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) inn i uutforskede deler av verdensrommet - ja, kanskje til og med inn i en tilstand av udødelighet. «Åpne romskipdørene, HAL.» La den fantastiske historien begynne.

One of the best films ever made. Every shot is perfect. Kubrick set out to make 'a serious SCI-Fi film' and it was clearly a massive inspiration on film makers such as Lucas/Spielberg/Tarkovsky/Nolan.. Some may argue that it is too slow and there is no plot. This isn't film that tells you what to think but to get you thinking and exploring for yourself Life's big questions: What is our purpose? How and why is God guiding us? How do we stop ourselves becoming more like the machines we build and keep our humanity? What are the impacts of AI? The acting style is deliberately flat and robotic to show how dehumanised we have become and that the computer: HAL sounds more human and real. This is even more relevant today than it was in 1968.

For its time this movie has amazing special effects and how they did them was very intuitive and unique. I watched this is media class in school when I was 12 and I was so impressed.

True 4k this film was shot on a format that at the time wasn't used so much not on 35mm but 70mm film so it caught a perfect amount of detail. Hence why it's a such a feast for the eye's
