Description: Celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the film's release, this is the definitive story of the making of '2001: A Space Odyssey', acclaimed today as one of the greatest films ever made, including the inside account of how director Stanley Kubrick and writer Arthur C. Clarke created this cinematic masterpiece. Regarded as a masterpiece today, '2001: A Space Odyssey' received mixed reviews on its 1968 release. Despite the success of Dr Strangelove, director Stanley Kubrick wasn't yet recognized as a great filmmaker, and 2001 was radically innovative, with little dialogue and no strong central character. Although some leading critics slammed the film as incomprehensible and self-indulgent, the public lined up to see it. 2001's resounding commercial success launched the genre of big-budget science fiction spectaculars.
