    It could be subliminal marketing, being that 2K stands for 2000; which of course, is only a digit away from 2001. Therefore, in the end, all is recouped by sitting a single row closer.:rolleyes:

    BTW, is an "Unrestored film print from original negative" akin to an "Un-cola" made from the original recipe?:D

    Wow. From a 2K of a 35 to a 4K of a 70? That would be a double-double jump to the land of superior. At this point, wherever "2001" is heading; with these recent weekend screenings and all; one can only hope that this is all grist for the mill and the studios learning curve towards an end...

    sI would have to say that any film lover who gets to see a 70mm print of "2001" in any of its stages would, in its end, be quite a fortunate individual.. Once we know and have a handle of the print being viewed one can just sit back and fully appreciate the work at hand. We eventually have to...

    Knowing going in that this weeks presentation of "2001" are not a high-end restoration, I would still find myself enjoying the experience. Always, there is so much to be gained from viewing a 70mm event.

    To my mind, the dupe of all "2001" dupes would be the one that deliberately does not go to the 50th Anniversary showing.:D

    I gave Craig Beam a "Likes" for bringing another presentation venue of "2001" to our attentions; and I gave RAH a "Likes" because it was a shoddy piece of writing.

    I sincerely doubt that Christopher Nolan is working within a vacuum. I am certain that with an eye like Mr. Nolan's, he has many highly informed specialists, contacts and colleagues that he confers with. He is a much needed champion and voice for the 70mm format. I, for one, am very, very...

    The best way to safeguard yourself would be to call the theater in advance and ask the manager if, during it's engagement, their concession stand will be serving Orange Tea.:huh:

    I told that I was limited to only one ticket to either Deadpool, Hans Solo or 2001, I wouldn't even hesitate. 2001 is genius, still mightily relevant and Geoffrey Unsworth, in addition to Kubrick, visually paved the way for all the rest.

    With Mr. Nolan's superb eye for visual excellence, it is doubtful to me that his overseeing of 2001 at Cannes would be anything short of thrilling. I am certain that he has captured THE best print possible.
