The HD restoration is stunning as it's been taken from the original 70mm negatives so, in terms of the AV quality, there are few discs which come close to the sheer spectacle. As a Kubrick fan, this is one which you should definitely add to your collection - you won't be disappointed.

Yeah, 2001 is one of the best looking (and sounding) BDs I've seen thus far. Absolutely stunning.

As above, 2001 is a reason to go Blu. The HD mantra of "looks more like a window than a screen" fits perfectly here, reach your hand toward the screen during the Dawn scenes, it's kinda like you can reach into the environment(no herbal roll ups required

) sod 3D. Stanley sure knew his stuff.

What they all said. It's literally STUNNING. No exaggeration, I thought I was going to cry I was that overwhelmed with it. Incredible.

Also, in case you didn't know, Takashi Miike is currently working on a remake of HariKiri.

films i have watched...hmmm...

BLOOD OUT - i don't know what possessed me to rent this action movie, the cast reads like this; Vinnie Jones, Tammer Hassan, Luke Goss, Val Kilmer and Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson. Wow was this a piece of shit, bad acting from everyone except Luke Goss who to be fair was pretty cool, CGI gun fire, it was so obvious even the bullet holes still moved. Fiddy Cent is in it for about 6 seconds yet gets top billing and the film ends mid sentance. Shit.

X-THE UNKNOWN: interesting second film from Hammer, Good Jimmy Sangster script and an intriguing premise about a species that strives of energy that is going around eating up radiation. Sort of the Blob meets the Thing. Worth a look for fans of hammer and old school british sci-fi. The new budget release from Icon is ok, there are no extras and the PQ is quite bad in some scenes but due to the age and the materials used, it's understandable, still a million times better than anything released on the Elstree entertainment label.

Watched The Case of the Bloody Iris earlier. Thoroughly enjoyed this, really liked the setting of the luxury high rise. Kept me guessing until the every end as far as the killer was concerned although that's probably just because of how unlikely it seemed. Still worth watching though.
