2001: A Space Odyssey
Description
Light years ahead of its time.
2001 is a spectacular movie that grows even more wondrous with each viewing. Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece has awesome scope, touching the limits of interplanetary space and penetrating man's inner destiny.
"A uniquely poetic piece of science-fiction," raved The New Yorker, "hypnotically entertaining; technically and imaginatively it is staggering." Newsweek said, "Kubrick's special effects border on the miraculous – a quantum leap in quality over any sci-fi film ever made."
As producer, director and co-writer of the screen play with Arthur C. Clarke, Kubrick brought complex ideas to the screen with astounding immediacy through dazzling special effects that won a much-deserved Academy Award. Moving from the prehistoric birth of intelligence to the emergence of man as pure thought, 2001 is a brilliant achievement and a remarkable theatrical experience.
Director of photography Geoffrey Unsworth brings you the universe, while the stately music of Strauss makes the galaxies sing. The entire film is a stunning, sensuous marvel – a cinematic experience like no other before or sine.
2001: the more you see it, the more you'll see in it.
