 Continuing the 50th anniversary celebration of Stanley Kubrick's science fiction masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey," Warner Bros. Pictures is bringing the film to IMAX theatres across for one week only, beginning on August 24th. This marks the first time ever that moviegoers will have the opportunity to view the seminal film on the largest possible screen, creating a truly immersive experience.
The IMAX engagement comes on the heels of the widely successful "unrestored" 70mm film release of "2001: A Space Odyssey," which was overseen by acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan, a lifelong admirer of Kubrick.

Is it 50 years since I queued outside a cinema in Bradford to watch this film.

After 50 years, I still do not understand the ending.
Does anyone want to give it a try?

So far, I am surprised no one has an explanation of the ending.

As I see it, he came back as a demi-god. A 'star child'. Mankind advanced to the ultimate. Here is a quote from the wiki on 2001. . .2001 has also been described as an allegory of human conception, birth, and death.[20] In part, this can be seen through the final moments of the film, which are defined by the image of the "star child", an in utero fetus that draws on the work of Lennart Nilsson.[21] The star child signifies a "great new beginning",[21] and is depicted naked and ungirded, but with its eyes wide open.[22] I don't have the book to hand, but I do remember the last lines being something like 'He didn't know what he would do, but he would think of something'. The wiki is well worth a read. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretations_of_2001:_A_Space_OdysseyHAL |

nyx, . .So far, I am surprised no one has an explanation of the ending... You only waited nineteen hours to post that. Don't forget about time zones. HAL  |

Thanks!! HAL for your reply. Maybe the ending is a little more understandable.
And yes, I do forget about time zones around the world, sorry.

The movie 2001 reminds me of today's movie "Blade Runner 2049".
"Blade Runner 2049" is a three hours mess.
