Blu Ray version is worth getting a player for if you don't already have one

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2009)

This movie is the flawless realization of the potential of motion pictures. My awe at the mastery and craftsmanship that went into its making grows with every viewing, especially this time in Bluray.
Got the Bluray today, and on the off chance that someone reads this who hasn't seen this cut of 2001, this disc alone is worth upgrading your player. Watching it reminded me of listening to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time on a great stereo years ago.
For all you sad people who are bored by this masterpiece, I surmise you have never been to a museum (or on the off chance you have, tried to rush through to "see everything" in a couple of hours), have never sat and watched a sunset to its fruition, have never carefully read a poem, have never spent a few seconds looking into someone's eyes before kissing them, etc. Please try some of the above as you are obviously missing out on much of the beauty of life. Or just do what you will most likely do and re-watch Shawshank Redemption on cable or maybe Titanic from your "classic" DVD collection.
