2001: A Space Odyssey

KUBRICK'S 2001 IS THE ULTIMATE TRIP Light years ahead of its time, 2001 is a spectacular movie that grows even more wonderous as time passes. Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece has an awesome scope and reaches the outer limits of interplanetary space and penetrates man's inner destiny. As producer, director and co-writer of the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke, Kubrick brought complex ideas to the screen with astounding immediacy through spectacular special effects. Inspired by Clarke's epic book, The Sentinel, 2001 moves from pre-historic birth of intelligence to the emergence of man as pure thought, somewhere in the future. Director of Photography Geoffrey Unsworth brings you the universe, while the stately music of Richard Strauss makes the galaxies sing. The entire film is a stunning, sensuous marvel - a brilliant achievement for Kubrick. ©1968 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.
