Skin texture, fabric weaves, reflections, and text are all rendered with remarkable clarity. Observe the spacecraft sharply defined against the void of space and the stars, which appear crisp and clear. Colors are stunning; the sunsets over Africa are vivid, the oranges are rich, and the space-suits and clothing display deep, intense hues. The infinity gate is a standout, so mesmerizing that it might make you squint. Flesh tones are natural, reds are vivid, whether it’s HAL’s eye or the cockpit’s lighting. Notice the reflections on Dave’s helmet and the bright light across his eyes amidst the cockpit’s red glow. Blacks are profound, dense, and inky, with the darkness of space fully enveloping, as is the monolith or the depth in the lunar frame. Whites are equally impressive, clear, and bright, showcasing texture and highlights; this includes the spacecraft's exterior, pods, living quarters, and the stars. Digitally, the presentation is flawless, with a slight grain adding to the film's classic feel, aligning with Kubrick’s vision. There are two English DTS-HD MA 5.1 tracks: one replicates the original 1968 6-track theatrical audio, while the other offers a restored and remixed version. Both are excellent, providing a thrilling experience. The remix version features broader separation, clearer definition between elements, and a slightly louder mix with enhanced treble and good bass. The original, while tighter, has a more natural sound with cleaner bass. The remix is dynamic and immersive, with effective stereo effects. Dialogue is clear and precise. The subwoofer remains subdued for much of the film, coming to life notably during the infinity gate sequence, adding significant depth. The score envelops you with sound from all speakers. Either track offers a satisfying experience. Stanley Kubrick’s film, adapted from Arthur C. Clarke's 1948 short story "The Sentinel," stands as a masterpiece of cinema. Its allegorical depth often leaves viewers, then and now, grappling with interpretation. The purpose is to provoke thought and personal interpretation. Themes of technological dependence, divine ambition, and ongoing evolution are explored, and the film’s enduring discussion speaks to its lasting impact. The exceptional visual and audio quality is an added benefit. As a 4K UHD set, Warner’s package is outstanding; the image, restored from an 8K source, is breathtakingly clear, detailed, with perfect color, deep blacks, and bright whites – truly extraordinary. Both English surround tracks are superb, whether you opt for the remixed or original, offering detailed, well-separated, and dynamic sound. The extras, though previously seen, still provide valuable insights. Strongly recommended.
