2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (TWO-DISC SPECIAL EDITION) (BILINGUAL)

Details

• Release Year: 1968
• Genre: Adventure, Drama, Mystery, Science-Fiction
• Plot: A four-million-year-old black monolith is discovered on the moon, and the government (while hiding the situation from the public) sends a team of scientists on a fact-finding mission. Eighteen months later, another team is sent to Jupiter in a ship controlled by the perfect HAL 9000 computer to further investigate the giant object--but on this trip something goes terribly wrong. 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY is a masterpiece of filmmaking. Director and (with Arthur C. Clarke) co-screenwriter Stanley Kubrick has created a visual and aural spectacle that stands as one of the greatest achievements ever put on celluloid. The film begins with the Dawn of Man segment, about the evolution of apes, and then ventures into the future, taking a look at what the world might be like in the first year of the 21st century. Kubrick's film is a triumph of technological storytelling, with stunning sets and a brilliant, overwhelming soundtrack. Long dialogue-free scenes sparkle with indelible images backed by powerful orchestral music, culminating in an unforgettable, inscrutable tale of birth and rebirth, human evolution and artificial intelligence, the past and the future.; ; ; ; Disc One:; Feature Film (2 Hours 28 Minutes); Widescreen (2.35:1), Color; MPAA Rating: G; English 5.1 Dolby Digital; French 5.1 Dolby Digital; English Captions for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired; Spanish Subtitles; French Subtitles; Commentary by Actors Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood; Theatrical Trailer; ; Disc Two:; 2001: The Making of a Myth (43 min.); Standing on the Shoulders of Kubrick: The Legacy of 2001 (21 min.); Vision of a Future Passed: The Prophecy of 2001 (21 min.); 2001: A Space Odyssey — A Look Behind the Future (23 min.); What Is Out There?
