I have never seen this on the big screen. I have a feeling my 60 inch Pioneer Plasma doesn't even quite cut it for this.

'2001: A Space Odyssey' Gets a Gorgeous Trailer for UK Re-Release | FirstShowing.net

We're waiting patiently for the arrival of Interstellar, the latest film from director Christopher Nolan (Inception, The Dark Knight trilogy), and we can't wait to see the film's IMAX footage, which clocks in at over an hour. Nolan recently compared the film to Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey, and audiences in the United Kingdom will get a chance to compare them perfectly on the big screen since the 1968 film is getting re-released in theaters. And to promote the film's return to the big screen, a gorgeous new trailer has arrived that will have you wanting to see this film again now. Watch it!

Now the philosophically ambitious, technically innovative and visually stunning cinematic milestone returns to cinemas in the United Kingdom this fall as part of Sci-Fi: Days of Fear and Wonder. It's been 46 years since the film hit theaters, and it's still one of the most mesmerizing, challenging sci-fi films ever. After audiences across the pond see Interstellar on November 7th, they can check out 2001: A Space Odyssey on November 28th.

This movie was a total game changer for presentation of filmed science fiction. Time's passage hasn't dulled it in any respect. Will be the first film to get me in a theater since 2006.

Awesome. I'd love to see any of the Kubrick classics on the big screen, but this would be a great experience. Aside from Eyes Wide Shut, the closest I came was The Shining in a home theater and that was great.

So do I. A tradition in my house when the snow flies.
The Shining was my first glimpse of Kubrick and still my favorite.

I might have been all of 12 when I first saw 2001 on TV. SO boring to me at the time, never got through all of it. It wasn't until much later in life that I was able to sit through all of it. Same way with The Shining too, when it first came out. It just didn't grab and hold me as a 18 year old.

You have to have lived some, to get these pictures. And the more you have lived, the more you get from them.

That's interesting, because I was 12 when I saw The Shining and it just grabbed me. I watched it on cable and re-watched when it was on. I even convinced my mother I was too sick to go to school one day when it was showing at noon. Once she saw me sitting in front of that she knew I lied. :p

I didn't see 2001 until years later and I didn't get it either, but the visual and music was enough for me to love it. I had to re-watch later to even grab what the heck Kubrick had in mind, aside from great photography and awesome SPFX.
