Stanley Kubrik is a true master of film, and 2001 a Space Odyssey bluray is nothing short of visual masterpiece. The pictures are amazingly vivid and sharp and the soundtrack as haunting as ever. Unless you’ve lived under a rock you’re probably somewhat familiar with the plot; When a large black monolith is found beneath the surface of the moon, the reaction immediately is that it was intentionally buried. When the point of origin is confirmed as Jupiter, an expedition is sent in hopes of finding the source. And at the heart of the expedition is the computer HAL that controls the expedition space ship. It’s really a story about evolution, but I’ll leave it at that for you to explore.
2001 a Space Odyssey blu-ray comes as expected in 1080p full hd with a 2.20:1 aspect ratio, and PCM 5.1 and dolby digital 5.1 soundtrack.
Albeit a visually stunning movie which has been lovingly transferred to bluray, it’s still a little too slowly paced for my taste and being used to MTV speed of information, hence no top score for this 1968 sci-fi classic.
