"There were challenges in the Pluto mission, such as making the spacecraft, especially the instruments, small enough and low power enough that we could minimise the time it took to get there and still be able to do amazing science," said a Nasa spokesperson in an email interaction with HT. Since then it has captured various glimpses of the Dwarf Planet. Nasa's New Horizons completed its three billion mile and decade-long journey through the solar system while making its closest approach to Pluto, about 7,750 miles above the surface of the planet - roughly the distance between New York and Mumbai - making it the first-ever space mission to explore a world so far from Earth. Is this correct? Kubrick had a trademark of having 'halos' around lighting effects so I'm not sure.Jwas a historic day for space science.
When Dave brings the pod up to the emergency airlock, the white lighting of the ship is overlaid by pinkish light from the pod's lights. Having said all this, there are things in the transfer that Bob Harris may wish to comment upon. But what the heck did you expect? This is as good as it's going to get. There are many other portions that highlight the limitations of the 1968 special effect. the background photos in the Dawn of Man sequence. But everything else about the film was a delight.Īfter owning 2001 in CED, WS VHS, non-anamorphic DVD, anamorphic DVD, and finally HD DVD, the HD culmination is what we have been waiting for all these years.Ī pedant will claim that the HD DVD will make more obvious the studio set vs. I was disappointed that 2001 wasn't a 3-strip Cinerama film. The Century 21 is a concrete dome theater with fancy sound systems and a projection room custom built for 70mm and Cinerama projections. I first saw 2001 in its original release as a 15 year old student in the "Century 21" theater in San Jose, which was a purpose-built theater for showing Cinerama films. Hats off to the archival crew at Warner Bros.Ģ001: A Space Odyssey is Unhesitatingly Extremely Highly Recommended! On the short list of the most important classic releases of 2007… I have no doubt that the HD version will be equally as pleasing. Kubrick would be proud.Īnd then he would change the conversation to baseball, and the World Series.Ģ001 is a beautifully stuck disc from Warner, which I screened on Blu-Ray. We finally have a version of 2001 on home video of which I believe Mr. And while we are viewing what is essentially the soft cover version of a film which was designed to be seen on a huge screen with audio blaring… My assumption is that this transfer is derived from a 35mm interpositive produced several years ago, and it has yielded a superb master.
Over-printed, with dupes scattered about throughout, it comes to to this new DVD in nearly transparent condition. The original 65mm negative of 2001 has been over-loved during the decades. This is one of those “few words” that is short, sweet and to the point.

Is it on par with watching the Stars and Stripes being raised at Iwo Jima?īut in the world of cinema, it doesn’t get much better.Īnd neither could this high definition disc, for which I set aside the opening game of the World Series this evening to preview. To have the opportunity to view it (without drugs) in 70mm on a huge screen, is one of these life altering experiences. There are a short list of films that of which it can be said… I was there when it opened, as an NYU film school senior.
