2001: A Space Odyssey
January 24 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
The sci-fi movie for the ages, Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, will be presented via a restored “road show” version of the film (2 hours, 23 minutes plus intermission) on the Capitol’s 40-ft. wide screen. Based on two stories by Arthur C. Clarke, the plot of 2001: A Space Odyssey is set in motion when a strange artifact is found on the moon. A crew of two men and an advanced computer system (HAL-9000) are sent to Jupiter to unravel the mystery. Leonard Maltin’s Movie & Video Guide describes the movie as “A unique masterpiece, immensely influential…” Time Out magazine says, “It stands now as a work of pure, sensory cinema: graceful, inquisitive, technologically groundbreaking, endlessly rewatchable — a flawless film.”
Heading the cast of 2001: A Space Odyssey are Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, and
William Sylvester, with Douglas Rain as the voice of “HAL.”
Admission is $8 for adults, $7 for seniors/students/military, $6 for Capitol Friends, and $4 for children 12 and under. (The movie carries a “PG” rating.) Tickets are available at the door or in advance from the Capitol box office (315-337-6277)
