The effects in this movie still hold up
I saw Kubrick's movie in 1968 at the Century 21 theater in Arvada, Colorado. Unless you've seen it in the front rows of an original "Cinerama", you can't imagine the experience. The movie is wrapped around you. You feel like you are in the movie ! It's like you are there ! I've seen the movie again over 25 times, and the feeling is just not the same.
I saw it with my dad in a Cinerama screen theater in Washington, DC. I was eight years old.
Got that right! Grand that new prints of 2001:ASO are due for US theaters soon, but, as you say, unless you see it in Cinerama, you have missed a HUGE piece of the film, that ‘Scope ‘canvas’ being a central component of the film, and not a ‘piece,’ at all. In the year 2001, which I personally took to be, at least for other devotees, Stanley’s year, which was effaced later by 9/11. I had already been bound & determined, for months prior, to finding a remaining US/Canada Cinerama theater that would show it. But, nix on that. I was bereft at discovering that no one would be showing SK’s film during in the very year for which it was named, not even in the Seattle Cinerama of Paul ‘Accidental Zillionaire’ Allen. It felt to me like a double-death, given the too-recent death of Stanley in 1999, then this demise of ‘2001’ in 2001, and after the disasters in September. But, maybe in Oct/Nov of ‘01, it was announced that it would be showing, and almost as if to heal the heartbreak, that it would be a the Uptown in Washington, DC, the very same theater in which it opened in 1968! Yippee-Kay-Aye! No flying across the country for this North Carolinian, I could just drive there! And did, and saw it for probably the 20th to 25th time since 1968, only never in Cinerama. A mind-bending experience, is all I can say. Many talk about how good it is, the newly struck prints, which is excellent, but, if one has never seen it in Cinerama, then, to a phenomenal, unspeakable degree, it is a very different film.
Can't speak for cinemarama, but you should see it in IMAX.
it was not a totally generational divide, my mom was in her 50s then and she loved it! And we teens loved it because it was frigging mind-blowing on the big screen the first time. Yeah, it can be done "better" now with all kinds of computer and digital graphics but this was a new thing, huge screens, amazing graphics, a computer named HAL... a really new thing, with classical music that teens loved and thought-provoking ideas, and did you notice, in the movie we were working with...but still cautious of....russia.
My dad took me to see it when I was 7 in 1973. I didn't know what was going on. Saw it years later and loved it. Still am enthralled by it.
Went to see it when I was 12 with my grandmother & my mother. Some of the best sleep I've ever had.😴😴😴 yawn.
I went with my Dad to see it in a matinee, I was 8...I remember it as a school day, but I didn't know (before seeing this) that its release was in such close proximity to the assassination of Dr King...now, I wonder if he may have taken me on the day that CT schools were closed in his honor, a few days after the shooting.
I was amazed & perplexed, but I was honored that my Dad thought that I was up to seeing such a "grown-up" movie, & I treasure the talk we had about it all the way home, when I was "comforted" by the fact that he was puzzled by so much of it, too, as we talked like peers. We were bonded by the fact that WE were the "veterans" who had experienced this movie when nobody else in the family had.
50 years on and we haven't been back to moon. We just stay in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
It was written by the late Sir Arthur C. Clarke, where's his credit?
Is this a '13 Reasons Why Season 2' reference?
I still don’t get it
