I saw 2001 about 4 months ago, and it looked the best I have ever seen it, even compared to the Blu Ray. Not a speck of dirt, and sharp as a tack. Obviously not an original release print, and in 35mm, but I was aghast at how prestine it looked. Guess that re-issue varied across the continent.

Interesting. The one I saw was 70mm, and so was the one my friend saw in Minnesota 5 years later. It made my jaw drop, but my friend said it was quite rough. I suppose there are some 35mm prints going around too... not every theater can handle 70mm (obviously).

The blu-ray still makes my jaw drop.
