Stanley Kubrik’s 2001: A Space Odyssey is considered a triumph of revolutionary science fiction movie-making. With ground-breaking visual effects, stark but hauntingly beautiful imagery, liberal use of classical orchestra music in the score, and sparse dialogue to create dramatic tension, 2001: A Space Odyssey set a new standard for both science fiction and cinema.
Super7 is proud to introduce 2001: A Space Odyssey ULTIMATES! figures: Astronaut Frank Poole, Astronaut Dave Bowman, Dr. Floyd, and the Moon Watcher! A visually stunning cinematic masterpiece deserves equally stunning, highly-detailed collectibles.
