About this movie

The sci-fi masterpiece from acclaimed producer/director Stanley Kubrick ("A Clockwork Orange," "The Shining," "Full Metal Jacket") about a space voyage to Jupiter that turns chaotic when a computer enhanced with artificial intelligence takes over. Visually breathtaking with Oscar-winning special effects, stunning cinematography, and an Academy Award-nominated script from Kubrick and best-selling sci-fi author, Arthur C. Clarke. Leonard Maltin gives it four stars and declares it "a milestone film." Recently selected as one of the top 25 American films of all time by the prestigious American Film Institute, who also recently selected HAL 9000 as one of the Greatest 50 Villains. Inducted into the Library of Congress National Film Registry. NO EDITING PERMITTED. MPAA Rating: G © 1968 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved

Magnificent film, but a poor HD transfer! This is clearly not the remastered version and it shows. To be fair the Play Store does not claim it is, but it would have been nice if they offered that version at a slightly higher price. Still worth buying on the current promotion though. Amazing movie but spoilt by this very poor HD transfer 👎 No option for a refund though.

The film itself is five stars, of course. But whilst this digital version looks fine on my smartphone, it is horribly cropped when cast to the (16:9) TV. There are black bars top and bottom as expected for a wide-screen film, but the picture area within that is cropped for some reason. Kubrick didn't frame his shots to lop the top off people's heads! Please sort this out, Google.

its 2016, and I don't remember anyone I know turning into giant space babies, so there's a few inaccuracies. its very deep but quite dull actually.
