1.0 out of 5 stars 2001: A Space Odyssey May 2 2004
By Tim L. Scott
Format:DVD
This iconic, 5-star film has never been equaled, but the film transfer on this DVD is as poorly engineered as any DVD I have ever seen. Video compression artifacts abound, and the disc is a literal museum of DVD technology problems. Exposure errors litter the transfer, along with strange grids and patterns in high-contrast scenes, color smears, and false color modeling of objects (see the monolith in orbit around Jupiter). Save your money on this fancily-packaged product and buy an old-fashioned Criterion laserdisc if you want to see this movie as Kubrick intended (he personally approved the Criterion laserdisc transfer).

I really enjoyed this movie. The special effects were really ahead of their times. I remember seeing it at the theatre when it came out. It really left quite an empression on me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Odyssey for Sure Jun 23 2012
By Allen
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The added material on disk two is very informative. There is not much else to say about the movie as it is a remake or reformat of the original. Some of the old boring factor is present when some of the scenes go on longer than necessary but that is not the fault of material but the direction and the cutting room personal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slow but Great
The first time I watched this movie, I was a little bit tired and I fell asleep 20 minutes in, concluding that it was the most boring movie I had ever seen. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars From Ape to Man to Srarchild
This 1968 science fiction will always be a classic. It is a story starting 4 million years ago, lasting to infinity. No movie on earth has had that length of time. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Long, dated and visually disappointing
I saw the original 2001 in the theatre, and my mind was blown. I have seen it, either on TV, VHS, or DVD, several times since, though not in the last 8-10 years. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars I don't quite get it, but I think I'm dense
I didn't really enjoy most of this movie very much, excluding the part with HAL which was all that really made the movie worthwhile for me. Read more

Rented this one just to laugh at how moviemakers in the 50's and 60's thought the world was going to look in the year 2001. Read more
