2001: A Space Odyssey
Stanley Kubrick's dazzling masterwork set the gold standard for the human vs. machine conflict. 'Open the pod bay doors, HAL.'
Director Stanley Kubrick redefined the limits of filmmaking with this dazzling space opera—and with Christopher Nolan's "unrestored" version of the original camera negative, audiences can now see this landmark film with its original color palette, as close to Kubrick's intention as possible.
In a brilliant meditation on humans and their place in the universe, Kubrick visits our prehistoric ape-ancestry past, then leaps millennia into colonized space, and ultimately whisks astronaut Bowman (Keir Dullea) into uncharted space, perhaps even into immortality. Co-written by Kubrick and sci-fi visionary Arthur C. Clarke, this masterwork set the gold standard for the human vs. machine conflict—and is yet to find a cinematic equal.
