Product Reviews2001: A Space Odyssey (DVD, 1998, Widescreen)

Loved the aliens and spaceships. Not too kitschy.

Film site of Devl's Tower, Wy. was a brilliant choice.

My all time favorite.....

This became my all time favorite movie when I first saw it at the local theater way back in the last century! I have seen it countless times since and almost every time I notice something new. I still have my worn VHS copy but since my VCR died of old age I have been going into 2001 ASO withdrawal! Now I can see it again any time I want.
2001 A Space Odyssey set the bar very high for all the space adventures since.Read full review...

A 'Top Ten' movie - a true classic!

I recently attended a short lecture by an expert of the cinema - Marc Lapadula / Yale University. His topic was The Three Greatest Films in American Cinema and 2001: a space odyssey is one. This reintroduced me to the great film that I realized wasn't in my library and I had to have it and watch it again. This is a great flick and brought back a lot of memories!!Read full review...

Only complaint is the movie is issued in letterbox and not 16:9 wide-screen. MGM and a few others were notorious for doing this on early releases.

A Must See for every Sc-Fi Fan

I saw this movie when it was first shown in the local theater in 1968. Stanley Kubrick brought out the best in Arthur C. Clarke when they worked together to make this movie.

When it was released it was so far advanced technologically that many people hated the movie. However true Sci-Fi fans loved it.

The way Clarke brought space to life in this movie was years ahead of it's time. You have to remember that in 1968 only a hand full of humans had ever even been in space, let alone established colonies or built ships large enough for anyone to live in.

2001 is one of the best space movies ever made and I highly recommend all Sci-Fi fans to add this one to their collection.Read full review...

2001:A SPACE ODYSSEY (1998 MGM EDITION DVD)

I MOSTLY BOUGHT THIS AS AN EXPERIMENT TO COMPARE THE MGM DVD PRINTS OF TURNER LABELS VS THE WARNER BRO PRINTS. WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MGM PRINT IS NOT AS CRISP IN PICTURE NOR SOUND, THE VIDEO HAS SMUGGED IMAGES AND HAZY COLORS SHOWING THE MOVIE'S AGE, THE BLACKS ARE PALE AND CONTRAST IS FADED. AS FOR THE SOUND THERE IS ALOT MORE WHITE NOISE AND THE BASS IS NOT AS SMOOTH.

OVER ALL I WOULD SAY LAWRY DIGITAL LABS DID WONDERS RESTORING THIS FILM FOR THE WARNER BRO PRINT.Read full review...
