I saw 2001 in 1968 in San Francisco. I rather liked the film because it was
largely visual. Kubrick was deliberately cool, showing how the human race,
after a vigorous beginning, had all of its fervour sapped by its own
technology, it had become jaded. One reviewer at that time said the film was
about the evolution of man from ape to angel. The original premier was some 20
to 30 minutes longer I hear, but the New York critics, always generally
unfavourable to the creative enterprise, panned it. So Kubrick cut the film
more tightly, and even then it was a long, silent film without much explanation
for American audiences who tend to scientific illiteracy. I think the film was
intended to inspire a certain wonder in the cosmos, and was a celebration of
intelligence in the universe. I saw the film, again in 70mm, in New York City
in 2001

Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] For you film buffs out there: 2001 in 70 mm
I saw 2001 in 1968 at the Cinerama is Seattle. The print may have been
70mm not the three strip Cinerama. But I'm not a big fan of the film as it
seemed a bit stiff and cold.
