Viewing Notes
Yay! So great to see this AGAIN in 70mm at MBT and on their new giant screen. Once again another sold out show (all the weekend 2001 screenings sold out). Was able to persuade Alexis and Hector to join me for the viewing and since I was already there from the previous movie, we got the best seats. They enjoyed it which I wasn’t sure they would but that was good.
Not sure what it is about this movie but each time seeing it is almost like seeing it for the first time. Not totally of course since there are so many memorable sequences but some things always seem to surprise. This time it was the intense sound design and shrill of the monolith and alarms. So damn loud with the new sound system. I’m still amazed with how beautiful this movie looks.
Wish I could recall where I originally heard that sample “X-ray delta one this is mission control” the first time way before seeing this movie.
