   Some relevant passages from a EW piece:   
      
   "Christopher Nolan may be the only working director qualified to   
   reexamine Stanley Kubrick's 1968 sci-fi masterpice, which Nolan has   
   carefully 'unrestored' to its original photo format for an extraordinary   
   theatrical rerelease unlike any other 50th anniversary."   
      
   "EW: For someone who's never seen this film, why should they make a   
   point to see it in this special format?"   
   "CN: ...What we're doing is putting it out there in its original 70mm   
   photochemical analog glory to give audiences in 2018 the same   
   experiences that audiences had in 1968."   
      
   "EW: Which scenes most benefit from 'unrestoration'?"   
   "CN: The entire film is so much more heightened, the color particularly.   
   There are things that appear to you in a revelatory way."   
      
      
   I'm not exactly getting the point of this, they go to so much trouble to   
   restore iconic films like this one, Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of   
   Oz, etc., in digital format and I thought the whole point of that was   
   for "heightened color" and a sharper picture (which you often see   
   demonstrated in a split screen comparison).   
      
   I only have the original MGM/WB DVD release so I guess I'm stuck with   
   the "inferior restored" version, lol.
