BEST BIGGEST IMAX FILM FESTIVAL - REMASTERED IN IMAX 4K!

Relive Stanley Kubrick's groundbreaking classic, digitally remastered in the stunning IMAX 4K Digital format.

In Kubrick's seminal Academy Award®️-winning sci-fi drama - adapted from The Sentinel, a short story by revered sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke - an imposing black monolith structure provides a connection between the past and the future. 

When Dr. David Bowman (Keir Dullea) and Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood) are sent on a mysterious mission to Jupiter to investigate the destination and purpose of a signal emanating from the monolith, their ship's computer system, HAL (voiced by Douglas Rain), begins to display increasingly strange behaviour, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.

The IMAX release of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality The IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
