Viewing Notes

Great to see this on the big screen in 70mm for my birthday. Quite a treat.

Viewing this for a second time on the big screen gave me a better opportunity to focus on the real beauty of the 70mm print and how it really adds to the clarity and color and overall dimensions within the film. Also dawned on me the real horror of the film when HAL takes over.
