Stanley Kubrick redefined the limits of filmmaking in his classic science fiction masterpiece, a contemplation on the nature of humanity, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Stone Age Earth: In the presence of a mysterious black obelisk, pre-humans discover the use of tools--and weapons--violently taking first steps toward intelligence. 1999: On Earth's moon astronauts uncover another mysterious black obelisk. 2001: Between Earth and Jupiter, the spacecraft's intelligent computer makes a mistake that kills most of the human crew--then continues to kill to hide its error. Beyond Time: The sole survivor of the journey to Jupiter ascends to the next level of humanity.

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
