- Various reminders and ratings are based on normal knowledge of Color Correction, which could be purchased in any commercial laboratory. "2001" is a largely normal exposed 65mm OCN, mostly without stylized color lighting effects, filters or stylizations. The director may have been more interested in a kind of "Bauhaus look" of the film, in a neutral color balance. Exactly the same as the 70mm premiere prints, which started between 1968 and 1970. The Blu-ray Disc from 2018 shows a certain approachjin several scenes, but even the age-old laserdics in other scenes. So far, the only color acceptable scene in the edition of 2018, which I noticed so far, is the reception scene of Heywood Floyd on the (rotating) Space Station 5. Perhaps there is another scenes, but mostly the Blu-ray Disc from 2007 has a clear meaning advantages. It is only unfortunate that this version of 2007 has this lateral (greenish) illumination error towards the edges of the image, apparently in the interpositive. If this bug were correctable, this older version would be more authentic overall.
If there is more time, we can go through the scenes one by one. But I ask those interested in the subject, the comparison with the HD DVD / Blu ray of 2007 and possibly also the old laser disc to perform. Of course, it would also be nice if Warner could offer some scans or still-reproductions of the today's "original negative", in order to make possibilities and restrictions in the processing transparent.
(Transparency was also demanded by Robert Harris at the beginning, I believe.)
