Kubrick once said, "The feel of the experience is the important thing,
not the ability to verbalize it." One of the few unquestioned masters
still at work, Stanley Kubrick has put Criterion through its paces in
six editions. A painstaking perfectionist, he has taught us as much
about the feel of a great transfer--with his sense of cool precision
and his obsession with technical detail--as he has taught audiences
worldwide about their own fears, dreams, and desires.
| "The definitive version on laserdisc of this most influential film
... as close as you will ever get to experiencing the film in the way
the filmmakers intended." -Gary Reber, Widescreen Review
2001, with Douglas Trumbull's stunning special effects and Arthur
C. Clarke's philosophical screenplay, has sparked endless discussion
among moviegoers. Criterion's edition is the best home video version
of 2001. The widescreen transfer on both Criterion editions was
supervised and approved by director Stanley Kubrick, making 2001 look
and sound better than ever!
Criterion's CAV Special Edition includes:
- An interview with Arthur C. Clarke
- NASA space mission footage
- Computer-animated films of the Jupiter fly-by missions
- Hundreds of 2001 documents, production memos, and photos
