And 2001 looks so fantastic because it was shot on 70mm. Oh, what/who I would do to get to see a 70mm screening of 2001...
In 2001 the Castro Theater in San Francisco showed a newly-printed 70mm print, two showings per night for two weeks. Every show was sold out. It was the most beautiful image I've ever seen projected... huge screen, razor sharp from corner to corner, vivid colors, and not a spec of dust in sight. I hear the print got a little grungy after a few years touring the country.
The crowd was cheering during certain scenes. An amazing experience. It made me wish I had seen more films in 70mm.
If you haven't seen it in 70mm, at least get the Blu-Ray... it was made from the 70mm restoration and is a phenomenal image. It's like bathing in the universe.
