WillG: Here you go.
These were all taken from my seat, same row. The one posted earlier was zoomed in.
If you would like the hi-rez photos, PM me an email address.

Absolutely. And think of how many times he's seen 2001: A Space Odyssey since 1968!

Almost as many as Josh Steinberg, maybe...

NOBODY has seen "2001" more than Josh;
not Keir, not Leon and - due only to his passing - not even Stanley.

Guy over on the Blu Ray Forum has an advance copy says it looks very good, has a few off screen pics.

With all due respect to Josh I believe Jack Briggs holds that title. I hope he’s well.

Has Josh ever quoted an estimate of the number of times... just for fun ?

He hasn’t, but he’ll check to see if he has any ticket stubs that he can count

I miss him particularly this year with all of the “2001” festivities. I hope he’s well and that he found his way to an IMAX theater for this.

I hope Mr Harris has a reviewer in hand. I hope to hear about the lack of halos.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

The best I can estimate for theatrical screenings (in a variety of formats) is that I’ve seen “2001” at least 25 times in theaters. I’m sure I could be more than that but I can definitely cite the approximate date and location for at least those number of showings.

I don’t even know how to count home viewings. I wrote an honors thesis on the film during my first year of high school where I compared the film to the book and examined the differences in how the same story was told in two vastly different mediums. I watched the movie an uncountable number of times while working on that project. Outside of schoolwork, I’ve watched it at home more times than I can count. It’s one of those movies where, when I get the desire to watch it, I might end up watching it a few nights in a row.

It’s probably not stretching it to say that I’ve seen it over a hundred times in my life.

You can stop at 2001 if you want

So... one week before the new disc is released and I have not seen even one review.... has anyone seen anything?

 

[Nelson Au]

Wow, this release crept up fast!

I just took a look at the purchase options. I see the 4K UHD Blu Ray only comes with a digital copy. Doesn’t include the standard blu ray. I see the blu ray is available too. Might have to buy both unless I missed another option.

 

[Peter Apruzzese]

It comes with 4K, Blu-ray and Digital.

The one I ordered appears to include a regular blu-ray.

None yet. The Aussie poster who got the disc early is the closest we have.. Even for Warner this seems unusual

I haven't seen any US release without a BD included -- where is your order from. I'm not quite sure it's a new BD rather than just a repack -- it may be but I'm so mixed up on Monsters, Doctor Who, 2001, etc everything is getting mushed together

Interesting that the 4K Steelbook is not only not for sale any of the usual suspects, but several have had their order cancelled at Amazona dn Amazon UK. Zavvi sold out as expected. JBHiFi Australia appears to be open for orders and a little cheaper than most other stores. BuyBuy may come back for order once release day comes up.

It is a new BD.

 

[Nelson Au]

Thanks guys, for some reason, I did not see the plus symbol and read it as 4K Ultra HD blu ray. That’s great!

Amazon’s price is $22.48, which seemed low for a set that includes both the UHD and BD. So that was another sign to me it was only the 4K UHD.

Thanks again for clearing that up! I just didn’t see it.

Having another look, I see there is the Steelbook at Best Buy. I might even go for that version even though I’m not a Steelbook collector.

 

[David Norman]

It is a new BD.

Thanks. Hopefully it will do justice for the Non 4K monitors

 

[OliverK]

Thanks. Hopefully it will do justice for the Non 4K monitors

If it is based on the new master then most of the improvements should be visible on the Blu-ray already.

7 more day's and still NO Review in sight ! ???
