2001: A Space Odyssey

Directed by: Stanley Kubrick

1968/141 min/70mm Film

Awe-inspiring, mind-bending, and decades ahead of its time, Stanley Kubrick’s epic takes you from the dawn of humanity to the reaches of space with unmatched cinematic grandeur. When a mysterious monolith is uncovered on the Moon, a deep-space mission is launched to uncover its secrets, but as the voyage unfolds, HAL 9000, the ship’s sentient AI, begins to challenge its crew in ways they never expected.

Kubrick envisioned 2001 as a primarily nonverbal experience, using haunting visuals and classical music to shape its atmosphere. With only 40 minutes of dialogue in its 149-minute runtime, the film unfolds like a symphony, meant to be felt rather than explained.

With revolutionary special effects and staggering visuals that remain unmatched, this 70mm presentation is the only way to experience 2001 the way Kubrick intended.
