Christopher Nolan's restored version of Stanley Kubrick's 1968 science-fiction epic "2001: A Space Odyssey," which played Houston's Regal Greenway Grand Palace in June, is returning to Southeast Texas.

This time it's going to be shown on the IMAX screen at Regal Lone Star 19 & IMAX in Tomball, beginning Friday for one week only.

This is part of a re-release that will see the movie in 350 IMAX theaters across the U.S. and Canada, and it's the "first time ever that moviegoers will have the opportunity to view the seminal film on the largest screen possible, creating a truly immersive experience," Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution, Jeff Goldstein, said in a release.

The only other Texas engagement of this re-release is in San Antonio at the Santikos Palladium 19 IMAX + AVX.

But if you want to see the movie on IMAX 70mm film you're going to have to really travel. Only four theaters -- one each in Los Angeles, New York City, Toronto and San Francisco -- will be showing it in this format.
