Explanation of Ratings

|
This is one of my favorite films.
It blew me away as a kid, and I am still trying to
figure out what it means.
Why did HAL go crazy?
Why really happened to Keir Dullea at the end.
At lot of recent movies have better special effects,
but none can convey the same
existential loneliness.
This tape is sold both in a "letterbox" edition,
showing the full width of the movie screen, and
standard TV edition.

From the Book Cover
2001 s a spectacular movie that grows more
wondrous with each viewing. Awesome in scope, Stanley
Kubrick's masterpiece explores the mysteries of
space... and of human destiny.
"A uniquely poetic piece of science fiction," 2001
is "hynotically entertaining; technically and
imaginatively it is staggering"
(The New Yorker).
Kubrick's special effects border on the miraculous --
a quantum leap in quality over any sci-fi film ever
made" (Newsweek).
As producer, director and co-writer of the
screenplay (with Arthur C. Clark), Kubrick
brought complex ideas to the screen with astounding
immediacy through dazzling special effects that
won a much-deserved Academy Award. Moving from the
prehistoric birth of intelligence to the emergence
of man as pure thought, 2001 is a remarkable
achievement.
Director of photography Geoffrey Unsworth brings you
a respendent universe, while the stately music of
Strauss makes the galaxies sing. The entire film is
a stunning, sensual marvel -- a cinematic experience
like no other before or since.
