Save 17% On the '2001: A Space Odyssey' 4K UHD Blu-ray

Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, and to commemorate the occasion, a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray is coming your way on October 30th! This is a no-brainer, day one upgrade if there ever was one.

With that in mind, you can reserve a copy of 2001: A Space Odyssey on 4K Blu-ray with HDR presentation on Amazon for $34.99 - or 17% off the list price. This is the first discount that the title has received since it went up for pre-order, so you'll want to lock it in with Amazon's pre-order guarantee now. You won't be charged until it ships, and you'll automatically take advantage of any further discounts that occur. A remastered Blu-ray disc will also come packed with the 4K release, but it can be pre-ordered separately for $19.98.

The list of specs and special features for the 4K UHD release of 2001: A Space Odyssey can be found below along with a new trailer:

To top things off, the mastering process was overseen by none other than Christopher Nolan, the director behind The Dark Knight Trilogy, Memento, Inception, and more. You may recall that Nolan is fresh off handling the remasters for his own films last year. He noted the following in a recent press release:

"2001 to me is the most cinematic film that has ever been made and it has been an honor and a privilege to be able to share the film with a new generation," said Nolan. "4K Blu-ray allows the closest recreation of viewing the original film print in your own home. Kubrick's masterpiece was originally presented on large format film and the deeper color palette and superior resolution comes closest to matching the original analogue presentation."
