2001年宇宙の旅
[b]2001: A Space Odyssey[/b] is a 1968 British-American [[science fiction]] film produced and directed by [[Stanley Kubrick]]. The screenplay was co-written by Kubrick and [[Arthur C. Clarke]], and was partially inspired by Clarke's short story [i]"The Sentinel"[/i] (1948). Clarke concurrently wrote the novel [i]2001: A Space Odyssey[/i] during production, which was published soon after the film was released (but contains some differences from the movie's plot). 

The film is frequently described as an "epic film", both for its length and scope, and for its affinity with classical epics. It is notable for its scientific accuracy, pioneering special effects, ambiguous imagery that is open-ended, sound in place of traditional narrative techniques, and minimal use of dialogue.

Despite initially receiving mixed reactions from critics and audiences alike, 2001: A Space Odyssey garnered a cult following and slowly became a box office hit. Some years after its initial release, it eventually became the highest grossing picture from 1968 in North America. Today it is near-universally recognized by critics, filmmakers, and audiences as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made. 

In 1984, a sequel directed by Peter Hyams was produced, titled [[2010 (book)|2010: The Year We Make Contact]].
