A fantastic and wonderful time.

Rating: 9/10 (3 April 2019)

The greatest science fiction film of all time has finally arrived in a format befitting its grandeur and significance. Always considered one of the most stunningly realistic sci-fi pictures ever made, the restoration and enhanced color of the new release further elevates the genius of the imagery and effects, demonstrating their parity with the finest visual effects in modern movies. The 4K version of 2001: A Space Odyssey also comes with a set of wonderful featurettes, several promotional cards from the film, and a booklet of behind-the-scenes photos, concept art, costumes, and character photos. Among the most important and iconic pictures ever produced, you can now see it in its perfected form in honor of its 50th anniversary -- and as you watch it, you'll once again wonder how such incredible visual effects could be half a century old.
