Clarke, it is a mesmerizing exploration of human evolution, artificial intelligence, and the mysteries of the cosmos that remains just as visually staggering today as it was decades ago.
Where to watch
Available to stream in the Netherlands on HBO Max. It is also available to rent or buy on digital platforms such as Apple TV, Prime Video, and Google Play.
What to expect
A slow-burning, deeply hypnotic, and highly philosophical experience. It features long, majestic sequences of space travel set to classical music, minimal dialogue, and an eerie, tense atmosphere driven by the iconic, soft-spoken supercomputer HAL 9000. It is a visual journey that rewards patience.
