2001: A Space Odyssey

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey will be showing in the McWane Science Center IMAX Dome on unrestored 70 mm film (struck from new printing elements made from the original camera negative). Whether you’ve seen this 20th century classic 50 times, or you want to see it for the first time, this is THE WAY to experience it.

An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future in this enigmatic adaptation of a short story by revered sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship’s computer system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.
