It begins within a pre-historic age. A black monolith uplifts the intelligence of a group of apes on the African plains. The most famous edit in cinema introduces the 21st century, and after a second monolith is found on the moon a mission is launched to Jupiter. On the spacecraft are Bowman (Keir Dullea) and Poole (Gary Lockwood), along with the most famous computer in fiction, HAL. Their adventure will be, as per the original title, a "journey beyond the stars". Written by science fiction visionary Arthur C Clarke and Stanley Kubrick, 2001 elevated the SF film to entirely new levels, being rigorously constructed with a story on the most epic of scales. Four years in the making and filmed in 70 mm, the attention to detail is staggering and four decades later barely any aspect of the film looks dated, the visual richness and elegant pacing creating the sense of actually being in space more convincingly than any other film. A sequel, 2010: Odyssey Two (1984) followed, while Solaris (1972), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), The Abyss (1989) and A.I. (2001) are all indebted to this absolute classic which towers monolithically over them all. On the DVD: There is nothing but the original trailer which, given the status of the film and the existence of an excellent making-of documentary shown on Channel 4 in 2001, is particularly disappointing. Shortly before he died Kubrick supervised the restoration of the film and the production of new 70 mm prints for theatrical release in 2001. Fortunately the DVD has been taken from this material and transferred at the 70 mm ratio of 2.21-1. There is some slight cropping noticeable, but both anamorphically enhanced image and Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack (the film was originally released with a six-channel magnetic sound) are excellent, making this transfer infinitely preferable to previous video incarnations. --Gary S Dalkin ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000056WOM | | Actors | Daniel Richter, Gary Lockwood, Keir Dullea, Leonard Rossiter, William Sylvester | | Aspect Ratio | 2.21:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,084 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 186 in Science Fiction (DVD & Blu-ray) 335 in Action & Adventure (DVD & Blu-ray) 346 in Drama (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Country of origin | Poland | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,427) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 2724322821188 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), German (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Media Format | PAL, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 1.4 x 19 x 13.6 cm; 70 g | | Release date | 17 April 2019 | | Run time | 2 hours and 19 minutes | | Studio | Warner Home Video | | Subtitles: | Dutch, English, German, Italian | ## Product Details - **Format:** PAL, Subtitled - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** English, German - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 19 minutes ## Images ![2001: A Space Odyssey [DVD] [1968] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91m-ZdZsmYL.jpg) ![2001: A Space Odyssey [DVD] [1968] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91se9hLxjhL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - 2001: A Space Odyssey [DVD] [1968] - 2010: The Year We Make Contact [DVD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/48553028-2001-a-space-odyssey-dvd-1968](https://www.desertcart.in/products/48553028-2001-a-space-odyssey-dvd-1968) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
