I watched the new 4k UHD blu-ray of "2001: A Space Odyssey" on my home system yesterday. The first few minutes of the film, following the entr’acte music, left me stunned. The disc is utterly gorgeous. The stars have never been clearer or whiter, the details have never been more detailed, the color of the chairs in the space station never more intensely unique, the reds have never been redder, the Dawn of Man never more bleakly beautiful. The stargate section seemed brand new – a dazzlement.
Without question this is my favorite 4kUHD release. It transported me back to when I was a kid, seeing the film at the Denver Cooper Cinerama for my 15th birthday.
No teal/cyan agenda that I could see – just stunning audio, images, and an infinity of colors.
