The 70mm run was NOT a restoration, FYI.

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2018

A note to some of these reviewers: the 70mm presentation that played this summer was not a restoration at all, and is not representative of what will be on this new 4K Blu ray. The 70mm run was a "non-restoration", a new print from the negative with zero digital bells and whistles and cleaning. If you didn't like what you saw, it's not because of anything Christopher Nolan did, it's just that you watched a new print of a 50 year old negative of a film that you're accustomed to seeing with slight variations in color from other masters that have been struck over the years, whether on VHS, DVD, or even the Blu Ray from 2007. This new 4k Blu Ray WILL be what is shown on digital 4k IMAX screens around the country starting on August 24. It's a new digital remaster. If you were lucky enough to have seen a 70mm screening, you'll have seen that the negative has been VERY well cared for, and isn't in need of "restoration", only some cleanup and, well, remastering for 4k hdtv.

Best version in 50 years

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

There are countless reviews of the film itself. These comments apply only to the newly released 4K version. For the record, I viewed it in Dolby Vision on an OLED TV, listening in DTS HDMA on an Atmos-optimized speaker system.
The audio is as good as it could be, having been recorded with the technology that was available 50 years ago. The music is tremendously important to the movie, and they did their best with it. As I recall from seeing it in theaters in 1968, there was an attempt at surround sound, previously unheard of. The sound is almost as good as some modern films, but nothing like the really great ones that take full advantage of Atmos or DTS:X.
From my recent experiences with 4K discs, I believe that Dolby Vision is much better than HDR, even though there is probably no technical reason for that. So far, every Dolby Vision movie I have seen has seemed very realistic, while HDR is often kind of "excessive" looking. Here, it appears that they tried their best to re-create the film experience, not enhance it. The light of outer space is naturally very harsh and contrastly. Interior scenes of space stations and ships are very bright and uniformly lighted as one would expect them to be. This was understood when shooting the film. The video faithfully re-creates it. Film artifacts appear from time to time, mostly as graininess in the bright scenes. This, to me, is better than trying to smooth it out, leading to an unnatural look.
Fortunately there was no CGI back then. Models were constructed and sets built. These had to look good on film when projected on a huge screen. Therefore, they still look good today. Some movies with crude CGI made much more recently are already looking outdated in 4K.
Of note is that on an OLED TV, the first three minutes are black, nothing to see at all. And outer space is truly black with very bright stars, just as it should be.
This is vastly better than the VHS and DVD versions, even a lot better than HD Blu-ray. Well worth buying again, even if you already have it in HD.

1. I have seen this movie more times than any other film, ever.
2. There is a new 4K enhanced release that made first delivered into consumer hands at Christmas 2018
3. The almost 3000 reviews here are for previous versions
4. If it’s not in the box pictured that’s as thick as a book, it’s not the newly released version
5. If you like 2001 this print will leave you speechless
6. Having left me speechless, that’s all I’m going to say about it

4K...

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

Okay so the movie is great and deserves 5 stars. Why is this review 3 stars? Well, WB again completely messed up the digital copy. It’s not 4K. Redeemed via Movies Anywhere, and despite the site saying I’d redeemed a 4K version after I entered the code - it’s HD. Linked accounts in Vudu and iTunes also show HDX and HD respectively. It seems the only way to watch in 4K is with the disc. As for the 4K transfer - it’s excellent. They did a great job, especially with Dolby Vision. Just a shame they didn’t implement it onto the digital copy. WB are the new Paramount, Lionsgate, and Disney when it comes to digital/streaming..
Also, in true Amazon style - the description shows the 4K version has 3 discs. It’s actually 2. The 4K disc and the blu ray. My version shows blu ray as it seems the 4K is on pre-order, but I received it from Amazon today 10/28 which was nice of them.
If me getting it before the release date is why the digital copy is HD, and it somehow becomes 4K on Tuesday, I’ll update my review.
Edit 11/1: Response from Movies Anywhere “I can confirm to you that 2001: A Space Odyssey is in your account in 4K/UHD. Our service will store your movie in UHD, though at this time we only offer HD streaming/downloading resolutions. Movies will port over to your connected retailers in the same format (UHD) or next best, that the retailers offer. After taking a look, it does appear that the retailers are only offering the SD or HD versions at this time. If they upgrade in the future, your copies with them should reflect that.” So it’s 4K, but not at this time. Whatever than means.
Also - I read reviews from folk who got 3 discs. As my photo shows - it’s only 2.

オリジナルを大切にして欲しかった。

このレビューは、「2001年宇宙の旅 HDデジタル・リマスター&日本語吹替音声追加収録版ブルーレイ (初回限定生産/2枚組/ブックレット&アートカード付) [Blu-ray]」のレビューです。

この作品に関してのご説明はいりませんね。
映画史に残る名作であり金字塔。
難解な作品ですが、何度も見てしまう作品です。
２００１年はとっくのとうに過ぎてしまいましたが、公開当時から考えてみれば凄い作品だと思います。
ＶＨＳテープ、レーザー・ディスク、ＤＶＤ、ブルーレイとソフトの高画質化が進む度に、各段階でジャケット違いや内容アップなど数回形を変えて販売されるソフトで、今まで発売される度に買い続けている金食い虫の作品ですが、それと同時に何度でも購入してしまう魅力を持った作品です。
多くの方がこの作品や仕様に関して詳しいレビューをしていますので、今回はこのディスクの画質に関してレビューしたいと思います。

ＨＤデジタル・リマスター盤と言うことだけあって確かに画質は綺麗です。
旧盤と比較するとレストアもされていてキメも細かい画質になっています。
また画面の明るさや色合いも旧盤とは違っています。
コントラストや明るさ、色合いと言うモノには個人差があり意見が分かれるところだと思います。
十人十色で、人それぞれ感じ方が違うため何とも言えませんが、この映画のファンならば問答無用で購入すべき逸品だと思います。
小さいモニター画面で視聴されている方にはわかりませんが、大画面で見るとその差は歴然とします。
小さい画面ではコントラストが強く暗めに感じるかも知れませんが大画面ではそれが逆転します。
旧盤は明るすぎて明るいシーンでは白いモヤのような感じになって見えますが、新盤はハッキリクッキリと言う感じです。
また、キューブリック監督が亡くなって以来、ソフト化する時に監督の監修がなくなってしまったことから、今回の新盤と旧盤とでは画角（トリミング）が違っています。
ファンには辛いところですね。
「博士の異常な愛情」では、スタンダードサイズとビスタサイズが混在する映画だったのに、いま見られるＤＶＤやブルーレイは上下をカットして全てビスタサイズにしてしまいました。
レーザー・ディスクが貴重な最後のソフトになってしまいました。
キューブリックが監修していた頃の画角で商品化して欲しかったと思うのは私だけでしょうか？
さて話を戻しますが、今回のＨＤデジタル・リマスター盤で画質もアップしたのですが、残念なのはオリジナルが持っていた情報をレストアで失っていること。
皆さんもご存知のように、この作品は前半部分の屋外シーンをスタジオ・セットの中でフロント・プロジェクションを使用して撮影されたモノです。
旧盤では、反射スクリーンの汚れや反射ムラ、そしてスクリーンに付着したゴミ（黒い点で見えますネ）まで見ることが出来ましたが、今回のＨＤデジタル・リマスター盤では綺麗にレストア消去されてしまっています。
レストアで綺麗に生まれ変わるのは良いのですが、オリジナルが持っていた情報を失ってしまうのは、私のようなファンにはとても残念なことです。
西部劇の映画「シェーン」では、偶然写ってしまった高速バスが、完全にデジタル消去されてしまいましたね。
本当に残念です。
ブルーレイの大容量を活かして、デジタル消去やデジタル修復した完全レストア版と、ただレストアしただけのレストア・ダイレクト版のようなソフトづくりはできないものでしょうか？

とにかく今回のＨＤデジタル・リマスター盤は、旧盤と比べると良くはなっていますが不満も残るのは事実。
ファンなら、とにかくコレクションするしかないですね。
と言うことで星５つとさせていただきました。

Vorsicht - kein Popcorn-Kino

Reviewed in Germany on October 16, 2017

Zuerst einmal möchte ich den Leuten, die dem Film nur einen Stern gegeben haben sagen, dass ich deren Meinung nicht teile, aber es sehr gut verstehen kann. Diese Sorte Film ist so speziell, dass man es entweder mag oder gar nichts damit anfangen kann. Ich sage das komplett wertfrei und keinesfalls herablassend.

Ich kenne 2001 bereits von Kindes Beinen an und der Film rang mir aufgrund der gewaltigen Bildsprache immer Ehrfurcht ab, auch wenn er sich nicht 100%ig erschließt. Das tut er für keinen und auch heute noch raufen sich Cineasten aus aller Welt die Haare, was mich irgendwie beruhigt, denn sonst müsste ich den Fehler ja bei mir suchen. Arthur C. Clarke (Autor der Vorlage) sagte nicht umsonst sinngemäß: Wenn irgendjemand diesen Film verstanden hat, haben wir was falsch gemacht.
Ich betrachte es immer so: Die Menschen haben schon immer in den Himmel geschaut und auch nicht wirklich verstanden, was um sie herum so alles passiert, aber dennoch Ehrfurcht vor den Gewalten der Natur gehabt. Auch heute leben ja viele in dem Bewusstsein, dass es größere Dinge um uns gibt, die wir vielleicht nie wirklich verstehen.
Der Film bricht mit der Tradition der 50ger und 60ger B-Movie Science-Fiction (Alien-Monster vs. Menschheit) und beschäftigt sich mit epischen und elementaren Fragen, für die es wohl keine gemeingültige Antwort gibt, da dies jeder mit sich selbst ausmachen muss. Auf jeden Fall hat Kubrick hier in Hinsicht auf das Filmhandwerk Neuland geschaffen, ohne die das moderne Kino wohl anders aussehen würde. Das bestätigen ja auch Spielberg und Lucas in Interviews, die man ebenfalls als Pioniere des Kinos betrachten kann (ob man die mag oder nicht).
Also Freunde, wer leichte Unterhaltung sucht mit viel Puff und Paff, schnellen Schnitten und CGI-Gewitter, sollte hiervon die Finger lassen. Dafür gibt's ausreichend Alternativen.

Noch ein Tip: Wer unbedingt das Thema abschließen und der Verwirrung Herr werden möchte, sollte sich noch 2010 (Das Jahr, indem wir Kontakt aufnehmen) anschauen, den ich persönlich als sehr solide empfinde und der den bitteren Nachgeschmack von 2001 zumindest etwas lindert.

Breathtaking

One of the classics of cinema - let alone science fiction - which looks breathtaking in 1080p. Both visuals and sound are fantastic and the film's attention to detail really shines. Not every part of it is aging well 50 years on, but it's incredible how current the Artificial Intelligence, commercial space travel and other aspects feel in the 21st century. It's long, moderately paced and sometimes obtuse, but that's part of what makes this film what it is. A true classic of design and film-making.

Classic moviemaking, still not dated.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2011

2001: A Space Odyssey is perhaps Stanley Kubrick's signature movie, and Arthur C. Clarke's definitive novel. Conceived as a book and a film simultaneously, it charts the progress of mankind from cave-dwelling apes to space travel and beyond, each stage heralded by a mysterious alien artefact, the Black Monolith.

Almost half a century has past since it was made, and for a move that attempted to depict space travel BEFORE man had even set foot on the moon, it's astoundingly accurate and realistic. No wonder George Lucas used the effects team headed by Doug Trumbull and others, to work on Star Wars some years later.

Regarding the lack of dialogue in most of the film, Kubrick says:

"It's not a message I ever intended to convey in words. 2001 is a nonverbal experience; out of two hours and 19 minutes of film, there are only a little less than 40 minutes of dialogue. I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. I intended the film to be an intensely subjective experience that reaches the viewer at an inner level of consciousness, just as music does... You're free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film and such speculation is one indication that it has succeeded in gripping the audience at a deep level but I don't want to spell out a verbal road map for 2001 that every viewer will feel obligated to pursue or else fear he's missed the point." (1970)

Make of it what you will, but relax and enjoy this perplexing visual feast for the eyes and mind.

What the Heck!?

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. I figured we would see ridiculous flying cars, jet packs, meal in a pill, talking robots, etc. Then I figured I was gonna write a review here talking about how wrong they were (since the year 2001 has already happened and it was nothing like that)and reccomend it just for a laugh. Here's how it really went. I popped it in the player and to my surprise it just looked like a fake documentary about monkeys with a couple of guys in really fake looking monkey costumes. Kind of like Planet of the Apes. 5 minutes in: Still monkeys (no narraration or anything either). 10 minutes in I asked myself "How are they going to stretch this out for a whole stupid movie?!" I will never know. Because when a monkey threw a bone up in the air so high that it went into space and morphed into a rocket-ship I was done with this garbage. Who on earth would predict the year 2001 would be like that!? I returned it shortly after that and rented Mortal Kombat 2 which was way more realistic with better fighting. In conclusion, you would be much better off renting a documentary about apes, or even Gorillas in the mist, or maybe Planet of the Apes which this movie is trying to be. AVOID!! Later.
