2001: A Space Odyssey

This 1960s classic is being rereleased in 4k for Gen Z to enjoy and appreciate. If you are not familiar with the movie, it is an adaptation of the Sci-Fi short story “The Sentinel” by Arthur C. Clarke. The story revolves around a monolith that was discovered and the scientists quest to find its origins. Aboard the spaceship Discovery One, Dr Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and his team of experienced astronauts are on a journey to Jupiter.
