Kubrick’s masterpiece consistently tops lists of the greatest and most influential movies and demands to be experienced on the immersive big screen.

A colony of apes. An artificial intelligence named HAL. A mysterious black monolith… Words can’t do justice to this awe-inspiring, singular cinematic vision – a strange, beautiful and astonishing ballet of sound and light, certainty and questions.

Influencing Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan and countless others, this is the work of a consummate artist, burnishing its original literary sources with striking images and sequences to create one of modern cinema’s most extraordinary and mysterious journeys. 2001: A Space Odyssey is both much imitated, and a film like no other.
