2001 in 70mm: Pod bay doors look better than ever, still won’t open
- walrus01 8y agoIf you've never seen 2001 in a really high quality format, and don't have the opportunity to see it in 70mm in a real theatre... Everything I'm about to write below sounds like utter film snobbery. But I think it's important to grok that at the release of 2001 when it was brand new in theatres, people were absolutely stoned watching it. Ask anyone of about age 65+ who lived through the latter half of the 1960s. You need: 3 hours of absolutely uninterrupted time with no external noises or distractions a totally dark room A 70" or larger 4K 60Hz screen a high quality 2160p copy of 2001 (either 4K bluray or a copy that's at least 20GB in size, relative to its running length and the bitrate you need for good quality). a good quality 5.1 sound system with a subwoofer enjoy!
