When it comes to 4K home video releases to date, there's arguably nothing quite as impressive as this UHD remaster of Stanley Kubrick's 50-year-old sci-fi classic.

Meticulously remastered from the original 65mm negative, the clarity of the 4K image is nothing short of mind-boggling, with the majority of the film baring a pristine sheen that could easily be released today and look positively modern.

Kubrick's precise framing and the gorgeous production design speak for themselves, but by far the most impressive aspect of this release is how insanely well the visual effects have stood the test of time.

The miniatures have a shocking level of articulation to them, and the iconic Star Gate sequence is more breathtaking than ever before.

Whether you're new to Kubrick's masterpiece or a long-time fan, this is the definitive way to view 2001.
