Description:
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
2001: A Space Odyssey is a countdown to tomorrow, a road map to human destiny, a quest for the infinite. It is a dazzling, Academy Award-winning visual achievement, a compelling drama of man vs. machine, a stunning meld of music and motion. It may be the masterwork of director Stanley Kubrick (who co-wrote the screenplay with Arthur C. Clarke).and it will likely excite, inspire and enthral for generations.

BLADE RUNNER
Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) prowls the steel-and-microchip jungle of 21stcentury Los Angeles. He’s a “blade runner” stalking genetically made criminal replicants. His assignment: kill them. Their crime: wanting to be human. A visual stunner remastered for improved home presentation, director Ridley Scott’s vision of this sci-fi cinema classic intriguingly differs from what 1982 moviegoers saw. This version omits Deckard’s voiceover narration, develops in greater detail the romance between Deckard and Rachael (Sean Young) and removes the “uplifting” finale. Most intriguing of all is a newly included unicorn vision that suggests Deckard may be a humanoid. The result is a heightened emotional impact: a great film made greater.

ISLAND
Lincoln Six-Echo (McGregor) and Jordan Two-Delta (Johansson) are among the hundreds of residents of a contained facility in the mid -21st century. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully controlled environment, everything about their day-to-day lives is monitored, seemingly for their own good. The only way out—and the hope they all share—is to be chosen to go to the “The Island”—the last uncontaminated spot in the world following an ecological disaster that reportedly took the lives of everyone on the planet…except them.
